Is there a list of battery heat management equipment?
If I have interpreted what I have read correctly, it looks like there are a few ways that different EVs handle battery temperature management. Specifically I am interested in battery cooling, though some people in more normal climates probably are interested in the heating as well.
I haven't seen info on how specific cars handle this, though. Dealer websites are very short on detailed tech info like that.
Are there any that just use air cooling for it? Are there any that use a heat pump or a compressor-based system (like air conditioning uses)? Do some just pump coolant through the packs and run it to a liquid/air heat exchanger (like a radiator)?
Presumably, batteries that are kept in their optimal temperature range will hold up better in the long run than those that get too hot and/or too cold. And obviously batteries that are too cold don't charge as quickly as we'd like.
I looked in the helpful spreadsheet, but there isn't any info in there.
