percentage cooling drag

To make what I hope is an obvious point, even if cooling drag stayed the same, as overall Cd of cars drop, the percentage cooling drag will increase.

Most of the other data that is being quoted here is pointless since the discussion is (was?) about percentage cooling drag. And the available data shows that:

1) On current BEVs, percentage cooling drag is nowhere near zero.

2) In fact, the sample of two BEV cars for which we have percentage cooling data available shows the cooling drag to be quite high - and higher than many ICE cars.

If there is other data available on the percentage cooling drag of BEVs, I'd love to see it.
I believe you're attempting to be useful, however the limited data you've provided is limited, contextual, and un-actionable.
If you can't fill in the blanks, then we're at an impasse.
