330e in an extremely hot garage?

VailDan · 05-23-2022, 11:33 PM

I am thinking of buying a 2022 330e. I know low temps hurt batteries, but just read that hot temps cause problems as well. My garage gets extremely hot in the summer(my guess is 110F or 44C in the summer) What kind of problems does that cause to a 330e?

If it's 110 inside, what is it outside cooking in the sun?

Edit: I see the battery is cooled via refrigerant like our volt, if it behaves the same way it will determine if temp is too high and circulate the pumps to keep it at a certain temp while plugged in.

IE, no worries.
