You seem to be under the impression that a lower Cd equals lower drag.
You might want to go and look up the meaning of the word coefficient.

I don’t know that you will find a BEV van with that range for awhile.
Commercial use and demand (like package delivery) will be needed first. For
that kind of range, DHL in Europe has said that above 150 km (miles?) it makes
no sense, as the space needed takes away too much from payload space. T

I know very well what it means. And, for a given frontal area, a lower
Cd means less drag. In Tesla's case, I think they are trying to maximize
cabin space without having a larger battery, and the Cd has a
significant effect on overall drag. Other manufacturers seem to be more
interested in th
Agreed. That's the trend (mid range delivery vans) and it certainly
makes sense in the commercial environment. I think we'll see some long
range minivans in a few years but they will be oriented towards hauling
lots of people, with expensive infotainment systems and creature
comforts, not for h

Paul,
My I-MiEV still has about a 60 mile range. I have been very pleased

Well, for my Jet ElecraVan, end of life is lead acid is obsolete and
while there were only a few produced, it is not considered a classic.
(Yet, I'm tinkering with moving to lithium.
