As electric cars go to higher charging rates, better cooling will be needed. Direct Expansion, or DX, is a new cooling system that “uses the same refrigerant as used in your vehicle’s air conditioning system to cool the battery directly,” according to HybridCars.com. DX eliminates liquid glycol, even has a cooling rate of 3-4 times higher, and simplifies the battery’s … [Read more...]
