Lucid Air as EQXX and 'template'
1) Out of curiosity, I gave the Lucid the shape of the Cd 0.1716, 2022 M-B EQXX concept. Using the actual MOTOR TREND road test values for 67-mph cruising, yielded:
A) 218.5 Wh/mi fell to 201.3 Wh/mi
B) 154.3 mpg-e HWY actual increased to 167.3 mpg-e ( gasoline )
C) 199.1 mpg-e ( diesel )
C) 4.6 miles/ kWh increased to 4.96 miles/kWh
D) Range of 517 miles increased to 560-miles
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Installing the modified-transom 'baby' template body, Cd 0.121 yielded:
A) 170.7 Wh/mi
B) 197.3 mpg-e ( gasoline )
C) 234.8 mpg-e ( diesel )
D) 661.7 miles range
E) BSFC-e 0.1358 pounds/bhp-e-hour
F) 9-hours, 52-minutes drive time
G) Road Load horsepower = 14.576
* 6.248-hp aero
* 8.327-hp RR
H) Bhp-e = 15.343 ( @ 95% B-T-W efficiency )
I) 0.3395-gallons-e / hour
J) 2.084-pounds gasoline-e / hour
K) Four ( 4) of these cars could drive on the electricity of one (1) GMC HUMMER EV
