Some EV models use air-cooling systems for the battery, which involves circulating air through the battery pack to dissipate heat. This is often used in conjunction with other technologies.
More advanced systems, particularly for high-performance EVs, often employ water-cooling, where coolant circulates through the battery pack to remove heat.
- Thermal management strategies:
Sophisticated software is used to manage temperature, preheating or cooling the battery depending on the environment and driving conditions. This can optimize performance and extend battery range.
