So there is this video on the BMW i3 motor. I was kinda surprise there wasn't some type of active internal cooling system. It appears to be fully enclosed with no cooling fan or some type of heat exchanger system. I'm not sure if or how warm the motor would get but ideally wouldn't it be better to keep it cool for longevity of the motor? It has a claimed range of 80-114 miles, per charge I assume. So if you were driving on a highway in a hot climate going 60 miles non-stop to where ever at 60 mph, that's 1 hour of continuous use. I would assume the motor would get warm at the least.
