That is true - but no mainstream BEV will ever be sold with as little power as an electric-only Prius. So it's a bit cute saying you can run with its cooling reduced to zero - and drawing any comparison with a proper BEV.
The cooling drag on my electric bicycle I once made was very low, but it's irrelevant to the discussion.
