The numbers Aerohead gave on Spark EV vs Spark ICE drag should have been enough to put this thread to rest a long time ago.

As well as the fact that a 214 hp Nissan Leaf does not (or hardly?) requires drive train cooling. I know the batteries do not need cooling, perhaps the motor requires a bit of cooling.

This is just common sense.

I suspect the initial, shocking claims were made in an attempt to stir up controversy -- and it worked!
