They did not say that doing more QCs per day is not possible.
They did not tell us what "if necessary" means.
Presumably high (or low) cell temperature is one issue.
Hopefully, the LEAF will "protect" itself, but it would be VERY HELPFUL for planning trips if one knew the significant parameters, the preferred operating ranges, the limits, AND had a way to meaningfully monitor those parameters.
A little software work, like a 4-hour graph of battery cell temperature, showing the highest module (or cell), the lowest, and the dashboard (presumably average) value. Then, on could spot "harmful" trends in time to do something about them, instead of suddenly having the EV decide to "go no farther".
Possibly, driving up (6000 ft) to Big Bear (drive 60 miles, +1000 ft on freeway, QC at brunch, then uphill for 20 or 35 miles) ... on a REALLY HOT day would be worse than 6 QC's spaced very 2 hours on a relatively cool day?
But, the point is, we do not know.
We do not even have a numerical battery (or hottest cell) temperature.
