I live in Texas, I am on a 3 year lease, and I swore I wasn't going to fret over the heat issue. I QC when I want, charge to 100% when needed, etc. I always plug in when I get home, to keep it at 80% for whatever else may come that day.
But recently I've caught myself making adjustments...
When charging both the Volt and the Leaf, I put the Leaf on the 120V charger to be kinder to the battery.
Today I pulled into the garage with 7 bars of battery temp. Normally I would just plug it right in. But, it is 100 outside, so I decided to wait and charge it later when it cools down to 6.
I guess the paranoia is creeping in. Not real happy about it.
