I didn't say that!
I said:
"But the fact remains that cooling drag on electric cars appears to be similar, or even greater, than on traditional internal combustion engine cars."
No where is there anything in my statement about "their counterparts".
Measured cooling drag on ICE cars varies from about 0.5 per cent to about 12 per cent.
The two BEV cars for which I have data show a cooling drag of 8 and 16 per cent.
To say it again: I've noticed that a few people here seem to believe that the cooling system drag of battery electric vehicles is very low, or even zero.
I don't think that is right.
