To monitor the actual HV battery temperature you could use the electrified app, together with an OBD dongle like e. g. a vLinker from Vgate. My observation is that the battery has some 2 to 4° C above the ambient air temperature during moderate driving. According to the nice, related essay in

https://www.laserax.com/blog/ev-battery-cooling

HV batteries are designed to withstand temperatures up to 50°C / 140°F, but above 70°C / 158°F things might get ugly. So it would be worth to check the AC before a longer ride at temperatures well above 30°C, which you will do most probably anyway.
