Nissan Leaf batteries are air cooled instead of water cooled. I wouldn't buy one, especially in a hot area.

Water cooled things are air cooled. The difference is in noise and where it's located.

Do you mean that water cooled has a radiator, which is then air cooled? Not the same thing.

Oh gosh. Not again. Those 40 degrees days were brutal. We're not set up for hot temperatures :).

I was confused, then I remembered Celsius. 40c is 104f. I'll be seeing a few of those days in the next week or so

We don't have air conditioning here except in offices and cars...
