That may be the problem -- if you're looking at a Model S and a Porsche Taycan, you should probably be comparing against something with similar weights and 0-60 times. Similar power output, in other words.

On the lower end, if you look at, say, a Chevy Spark vs a Spark EV -- it's pretty obvious the EV has smaller grill openings.

Or Chevy Volt compared to Chevy Cruze. There are lots of examples of similar models where the EV version requires less airflow.
