A lot of EV batteries have something like this already, you'd just have the ability to run external water through it instead of just going with a closed loop. You'd also need an outlet, which I guess would spill ethylene glycol all over everything if it wasn't contained, but better that than a burning car.
- sokoloff 5y agoMany race cars are plumbed with a port that can take pressurized water into the cooling system from the pits, and already have a temp/pressure valve to vent excess pressurized coolant [water in the case of a racecar, coolant mix for a road car] so the tech exists.
