I thought you gypuys might like to see what we are doing with the Tesla Roadster:

Nice work! Given that the Roadster has a 56 kWh battery, a CHAdeMO charge at 50 kW represents a charge rate of less than 1C which should be easy enough for the battery to take. Still, do you have to do anything special to prod the Roadster into running its battery cooling system?

The cooling system runs just fine. On "normal" range, the cells are held at 28C, and "Range" / Extended mode allows 40C.
