Most electric cars have battery cooling, but the Nissan Leaf doesnât. It works fine until you try rapid charging more than 2 times in one day.
I suspect that some high performance cars would also have motor and inverter cooling. This would likely not be needed for regular road cars as the motor and inverter donât produce much heat.

Some have cooling liquid for the battery and electrical components. Some blow cold air over the battery.
And then thereâs the Nissan Leaf, which just lets the battery cook, knowing that it probably wonât die before the warranty is up.
Though itâs a bit more complicated than that - sometimes you want to heat the battery or the passenger cabin, and sometimes you want to heat one thing while cooling the other. A good thermal control system can handle moving heat around as well as getting rid of it or taking it from the surrounding air.
