The Ford is a smaller, lighter car.
I don't now where you're getting your data from, but I am quite certain it was never measured to five decimal places...

Round them, divide by total car Cd, then multiply by 100.

As I have been saying, the percentage cooling drag of BEVs (at least for cars on which we have data) is not low at all.
