So because the older LEAFs have an air cooled battery they likely would not be
a good choice. But I believe all other EVs and even the 2020 LEAF have liquid
cooled batteries which should be fine.

I'm no expert on all the OEM EVs, but I don't think this would be a problem.
I would think most cooling systems would have a radiator and that you
wouldn't have any more trouble than a regular ICE car or truck.
Anyone else want to add to that, or take issue with it?

Hi
Thanks again for your great talks during the NDEW event.
Two question I was hoping you can send to one of your experts is:
I live in a high mountain ranch, which requires me to have to travel 4 mi RT
every time I leave home on graded dusty roads before I hit paved roads.
Do dusty conditions cause problems for the EV’s batteries? I assume if air
cooled there maybe a filtration system to deal with gross debris.
If so what migh I stay on top of to prevent issues?
Best
