The i-Miev has always come
The i-Miev has always come with a battery cooling system I assume the new model is no different. It uses a forced air cooling/ system redirected from the air conditioning when needed to keep cool and an independant heat system to warm the batteries when the batteyr gets too cold. Another bonus they never mention is that Panasonic is a subisdurary of Mitsubitshi, meaning the batteries effectively come from the same company as the rest of the vehicle, that is something that not even Tesla yet does, though they are headed in that direction. If you can't afford a Telsa, the i-Miev is the next best thing in my opinion as despite the Hype and better advertising the Leaf has less cargo capacity and until recently no battery management system meaning the batteries were suffering loss of capacity of 3-4% per year in comparison to the average i-Miev losing less than 1% every 2 years. I bought an i-Miev and I love it, I would never go back to a non electric car. Change times are nonsense as you will never be chraging from empty. It woiuld be like saying I would have to fill an 80 gallon gas tank with 80 gallons of gas every day no matter how far I go. The calculations given are extremes and no one will ever need to go that far every day. I do about 100km a day, it works out to about 2-4 hours of charging twice on my peak days, depending on temperature, etc. This is often split up as I will charge at work and at home. The longest i have ever changed is 6 hours and on my non work days I often end up charging less than 15 minutes after running local errands. It may not work for everyone, but it works for most.
