Thanks to you and Ron both for confirming battery location under floor, and temperature problems it magnifies. To me that’s a deal breaker because it complicates and compromises operation. I like simple, so prefer inside in air conditioned and heated space.
Lithium-iron-phosphate batteries (I assume that’s what they are?) operate best in same temperature range that is comfortable for humans and pets. Outside under floor they can get too cold or also too hot much easier. Temperatures near pavement in stop-and-go traffic can get pretty high on a sunny summer day.
I’m curious how they find location inside van for larger 400 and 800 Ah battery? Are those different floor plans? Guess I could look at specs.
