Battery cooling I'm not sure though, it's still circulating right ? which would mean a pump of some sort.
Anyway things are not as vanilla as they used to be in the early days, I hope that trend doesn't keep up.
- jqpabc123 4y agoNo, Porsche added gears for better efficiency. Only applicable at autobahn speeds --- which explains why Porsche is the only manufacturer thus far to see a need for this. I seriously doubt this will become typical --- simply due to cost reasons. Battery cooling I'm not sure though, it's still circulating right No, natural thermal convention in most cases.
- agumonkey 4y agoOh ok the liquid is passively cooled ? what the "heatsink" here ? the lower surface of the pack ?
- jqpabc123 4y agothe lower surface of the pack ? Yes. In some cases, the battery pack also serves as a structural component. https://electrek.co/2021/01/19/tesla-structural-battery-pack-first-picture/ https://electrek.co/2021/01/19/tesla-structural-battery-pack...
- agumonkey 4y agoYeah, I guess we all saw the structural battery annoucement.
