Does anyone on this board actually know what or how the ENV200 forced air cools its electronics and/or battery?
It is just cool air over the battery case? or something more integrated?
Then later in the article:However, this cooling system isn't designed to cool the cells, but rather to "ensure optimum charging conditions at all times." More specifically, Nissan says that e-NV200 incorporates a "bespoke cooling pack that operates automatically during quick charging."
It does not direct air at the cells/pouches, but rather towards the various electronics/controllers within the pack.
The engineers saw the obvious need for cooling. The bean counters shot it down.
Yeah Mux posted a picture or a link to a picture that showed a cutaway inside the nv200 battery.DougWantsALeaf wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 9:42 amDoes anyone on this board actually know what or how the ENV200 forced air cools its electronics and/or battery?

Was it this one?
The void mux discussed seems to be at the front, near where the cables and A/C pipes connect, not at the back hump. I don't see how the radiator in one corner (if I understand correctly) evens out the temperature of the cells at all. Maybe it's because the pack is sealed; blowing cooled air anywhere might tend to end up everywhere, at least eventually.The nv200 had a horizontal heat exchanger on the back hump of the battery and 2 fans.
