Perhaps the most exciting interior change in the new Golf is how taller drivers can now be accommodated without them having to take lessons from a contortionist.
However, unlike the LEAF, the E-Golf uses a liquid-cooled battery management system, which should mean more consistent range throughout the year. Liquid cooling keeps batteries warm in winter and cool in summer—minimizing the impact of temperature on driving range.
No, it doesn't have a liquid-cooled pack, after hot weather testing they decided they didn't need it. It's Deja Vu all over again.TomT said:They had me at "liquid cooled pack..."
And an interior that does not look like a Versa...
And a decent suspension with IRS...
And a really good infotainment system...
Etc.
My next EV must have those things, regardless of who makes it and all the other considerations.
I assume what you want is a battery that doesn't degrade in heat. Requiring it to be liquid cooled assumes a solution.TomT said:They had me at "liquid cooled pack..."
