Mercedes-Benz EQS sets record with the lowest drag coefficient of 0.20 in production cars

7 hours ago

Why is achieving a low drag coefficient particularly important for electric vehicles compared to traditional combustion engine cars?

Because electric vehicles do not require aerodynamic design due to their electric motors. Because drag coefficient only affects the top speed of electric vehicles, not their efficiency. Because reducing aerodynamic drag directly improves electric vehicle range by lowering energy consumption at higher speeds.
