First post, I got a used 2011 Leaf SL in Houston just 2 weeks ago. it was brought from Atlanta, and battery range seems in great shape. I bought a Level 2 15amp charger of eBay, and it's awesome. I went to a gas station to get donuts a few days ago..otherwise, no GAS!
Regarding Houston's high temperature....
I'm wondering if we could not repurpose the foot well vents in the summer to redirect them to the inside of the battery pack, followed by a scheduled A/C timer to cool the pack during the hot time of the day to mitigate possible battery damage due to hot weather in the South....
I understand the largest impediment is the fact that the battery pack is totally sealed... having said that, How crazy is this idea?
Thanks!!!
