From Transport Evolved (nice work again):
...at yesterday’s international launch event for the Nissan e-NV200 electric van — a vehicle which shares the same 24 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack and 80 kilowatt electric motor found in the Nissan LEAF — we noticed something rather interesting which makes us think Nissan might be rethinking its policy on battery heating and cooling.
The e-NV200, unlike the Nissan LEAF, has a small air conditioner built into its battery pack.
...
Nissan wouldn’t go into too many details with us, but it looks as if the e-NV200 can send warm or cold coolant from the van’s main HVAC system to the small integral radiator within the battery box. Air is then drawn over the radiator from outside and is then cooled or heated as needed to keep the battery pack and battery box at optimum temperature.
