Forgive me for being frustrated, but it has been said time and time again here that BEVs have very low / no cooling drag.
The only available evidence that I have been able to find does not support that.
So in response to my post, we have:
- a few acknowledgements and thoughtful posts eg the temperature ratio of coolant versus atmospheric
- a range of denials
- a lot of irrelevant information (eg cooling drag for internal combustion engine cars)
- the purported change in cooling drag for internal combustion engine cars if they were hypothetical BEVs that needed no cooling (huh?)
- people who apparently think the size of the grille represents the percentage of cooling drag
- people who think that comparing the ICE version against the BEV version of a car somehow gives percentage cooling drag for the BEV version
- people who say my sample was too small / biased / etc... but have no alternative data
- and so on.
Honestly, what is the point of trying to correct misapprehensions here with actual, real, wind tunnel data?
