    Ever have a situation where you have a job to be done and you could use one tool to do it ... but there's actually a better, more suitable option? Take an example that you might have come across in your home. You could clean your wood floors with a supposed all-purpose solution. The floor gets clean and you think the job is done. In reality, you should be using be using a cleaning product formulated specifically for wood floors so you avoid damaging the floor's finish. You can apply a similar thought when it comes to thermal management in #electricvehicles. Electric vehicles need cooling, so why would you use a coolant originally designed for internal combustion engine vehicles?
