2014 Cruze/Volt 0.30 / 0.28
That information does not tell us what the cooling drag proportion of total Cd is for the listed cars. So basically it’s irrelevant - unless you are suggesting that the change in Cd between the ICE and BEV models is due solely to the change in cooling drag (which it isn’t). The Cruise / Volt comparison is particularly ridiculous - the two cars have completely different shapes.

Again, just sewing the seeds of confusion.
