Heat is bad for lithium batteries as well which we all know from experience with our cell phones. It *seems* like the Teslas attempt to deal with this. Walking through a parking lot yesterday I passed two Teslas with fans blowing but no occupants. At the time I thought it might be to keep the cabin cool in anticipation of the drivers returning. Now I wonder if the car was trying to keep the batteries cool.
