It looked like the battery pack was just behind the motor, in the nose, on the test plane. Easy to let the heat just flow back from the motor.

Of course, it's a small battery pack.

FYI: I've ridden a few regional flights from Sacramento to the bay that are only about 15 minutes in the air, so the battery life might be as huge an issue as it's made out to be. Use electric for regional hops, and jets for longer "traditional" flights.
