Nissan Leaf vs Chevy Bolt battery management system
Interesting look and comparison of the 2018 Nissan Leaf's air-based thermal management system with the Chevy Bolt's liquid version.
This will no doubt be a question many future prospective EV owners will have in mind, as a battery that loses too much of its capacity in a short period of time will make them much less desirable.
Interestingly I heard that the longer ranged 60 kWh Leaf due out in 2019 is supposed to have a liquid heating/cooling system. Will make for an interesting study when those come out, and 2018 owners are stuck with an inferior system.

“At Tesla and BMW i, we share the same attitude that new technology needs to be emotionally desirable otherwise it will never work,” said Wieland Brúch, media relations manager of BMW i and electric mobility. “I think they did a wonderful job in terms of emotionalizing e-mobility because as long as e-mobility means just getting emissions-free driving from A to B, that’s not sufficient to make it a success.”
Prior to Tesla, electric cars were boring and only “the treehuggers” were buying them, Brúch said, but that approach wasn’t going to make EVs mainstream and truly successful. “They are doing a very good job to help e-mobility become more widespread,” he said. “We think Tesla is very helpful in pushing e-mobility and we are welcoming everyone member of the...
