Can anyone shed some light on the specifics of the TMS system on the FFE? I just got a 2017 FFE and am a long time Leaf owner, so I know a bit about EVs, but wanted to know some more detail about the TMS system. Some specific questions are listed below.
1. I know the FFE has one, but I'm not sure the parameters of it. At what point will it kick in to cool down the pack? And does the car need to be plugged in for this to occur? If I am in a parking lot on a hot day, will it start pumping coolant to cool the battery down? Furthermore, with this train the 12v or the high voltage pack?
2. Regarding the TMS heating the pack for more efficient use in the winter, I'm assuming this only occurs when plugged in? The pack doesn't draw from itself in order to warm itself up?
Thanks,
Jonathan
