At 70mph most of your battery energy is going to pushing around air. There are two ways to help reduce that effect.
  1. Drive slower.
  2. Change the shape of the vehicle like this guy: https://www.aerocivic.com/

Well, I guess there's a third option. Sell the crossover and get something more aerodynamic like a sedan or an Aptera.

Tires might help some. But will it be enough?
