Yes, Nissan went cheap and did not provide any cooling system for their batteries. The first gen batteries ended up being degraded by the heat and lost range. Nissan did change to a different chemistry that was less sensitive to temperature but they never added a cooling system. (Their new Ariya EV does have an active cooling system). Most other EVs, even of that era, had a cooling system and their batteries have been lasting for many years.
