I found this article on how the Lucid Aid handles cooling drag, but there are no solid numbers :https://www.wired.com/story/lucid-ai...nt-powertrain/

I'd actually like to ask about how to properly install bellypans and such on EVs with battery cooling in mind.
I assume that having ducting around a battery to cool it would be far more straight through ( literally !) than on an ICE car, with it's many odd shaped parts sticking out.
Not just battery cooling though. Also air conditioning heat exchanger (of whatever type), motor driver controller, motor itself. The Porsche Taycan has radiators much the same size as any other powerful Porsche (going on appearance, anyway).
