Excuse my arrange of my post , this post is just to clear up that I ment to say I read that rear air cooled was the most efficient.

So far in my design I would want to weld a frame like the flat skateboard frames that can be filled with batteries for pretty even weight distribution and improving aerodynamics , with the batteries spread through it should keep the weight distribution decently stable even with the motor and transmission being in the rear , being a rwd.

Taking from what you guys have said , I think I would need to have fan cooled , and radiator cooled , to offer adequate cooling... Generally ICE have air coole , water cooled , and exhaust which acts as a cooling function

I would love to have my radiator in the rear of the vehicle if I did both , how do you think a

transmission - motor - radiator - fan

in that positioning in the rear of the car would work... blowing through a mesh rear? With the radiator and the fan being electric.
