Hard Driving In Record Heat Shows Nissan Finally Got Battery Cooling Right
There are two things that make this the toughest thermal test around, with the possible exception of pulling a trailer. First, the vehicle’s modifications all increase energy consumption. Second, they took this modified vehicle into extreme heat.
About the only thing that could put more stress on the vehicle’s cooling system would be to hitch a big trailer up behind it, but to do that, you’d have to lower speeds to make up for it, so I’m not sure that it would make a huge difference.I’ve been trying to meet up with the Pole to Pole team to get further information on the vehicle’s energy usage and performance in the desert, but the tweet I embedded above makes it pretty clear. The vehicle experienced “no issues whatsoever” on the drive.
I wouldn’t suggest that a modified off-road version of every EV should be built and run from LA to El Paso in late June , even if seeing a custom rig like that would be extremely cool! Instead, manufacturers should devise a similar torture test. EVs with tow ratings should add to this stress by making sure they’re ready to drive with a trailer loaded to that limit. Having an EV that can theoretically tow but would overheat in the worst conditions isn’t a great idea.
