“So what is it about the Leaf’s design that limits its fast charging ability? It’s all due to the Leaf’s battery temperature management system, or rather, the lack of one. The e-NV200 and most other EVs are designed to actively manage their battery pack temperature in some way. The 2018 Leaf, just like its earlier iterations with which it shares its basic technology platform, has no active thermal management system.”
Well, there’s certainly an area for some advancement for the Leaf.
