We don't have the same approach.
I am not interested in comparing plenty of ice car with bev cars.

But in comparing several car that have the two model ice or bev.
For example Ioniq, Up, Golf ...
Tesla for example have only bev model.

I will do math for you :
with my car using it in Bev mode, say one week per year I open totally the front grill, then I have 4% more drag. The year average lost drag for cooling is 0,08%

In ice mode, I think more then 75% time the front grill have to be opened. The average lost drag for cooling is 3%
