Huge hit just from temp drop. Maybe it would’ve seen 59mpg with no mirrors. Still… temps make a big diff I guess in a hybrid

Taking my wheel skirts off this weekend and getting my snow tires put on, so there goes another aero hit. I’ll be completely back to stock body. For aero mods in snow I’ll have to focus on the under body, and something at the rear that won’t be affected by heavy snow driving

Aero, what’s your opinion on the box cavity thing at the rear of the KIA EV6 suv?
I'm not seeing any sort of 'box-cavity' back there.
The hatch wing is aspirated.
There's just 'tearing edges' 'burst-edges', a 1935 technology.
The 'raked' hatch could never produce any pressure recovery.
Is it also around Cd 0.29, like it's sister, the Ioniq 5?
