"Not so for ice vehicles"

Sorry, not true.

where
Fd is the drag force,
ρ is the density of the fluid,
v is the speed of the object relative to the fluid,
A is the cross sectional area, and
Cd is the drag coefficient – a dimensionless number.

I know the drag equation well. Applies to ev and ice. What is different is how efficiently you produce the opposing force to overcome the drag. Ice cars do that more efficiently at highway speeds.
