I want to preserve my electric car batteries (2011 Nissan Leaf with brand new 12-bar battery, future Tesla Model 3) with a climate-controlled garage. I got a mini-split unit installed and insulation added.
My goal isn't to make the garage a livable temperature -- 65-75 degrees -- but just to make it "not too cold" and then "not too hot" in the summer. I've been keeping the temperature around 55 in the winter. I was thinking I'd keep it around 80 in the summer.
What are your thoughts? I'm sure what I'm doing is better than no climate control at all, but do you recommend a different temperature for storing/charging the car?
