Isn’t it forced air cooled? I think the inlet is from the interior and exits outside, but I may have the wrong compliance car in mind.
No disrespect to compliance cars, mine was way better built than my purpose built EV.

Today I used the Mirage to transport my kayak for the first paddle of 2021.
A group of 10 yahoos braved the spring runoff down a local creek. I fell in - not a whitewater expert! (40% of the group fell in at some point.) Brr! Still very fun though.

The leaf of course. With gas back at $3 the leaf is the work horse from everything.

How's the battery holding up? No ill effects from the dead-as-a-doornail situation?
I did a DAAD thing to an older (10 y) battery last summer that I use in the MPGiata, and it didn't last much longer after that. |

weight reduction fail
I tried to remove a trailer hitch from the Mirage last night, and was foiled.

Rusted bolts. I broke one.
It's gonna need an impact wrench and/or a torch, neither of which I own.
