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.
Rarely see evs in the passing lane. Chews up too much range. Faster an ev goes the less efficient it is. Not so for ice vehicles. Sweet spot for an ice is highway speeds. Ev is better at stop and go city traffic 30 or 40 mph.
When Trump gets back in office and oil drops again to sub 50 per brl, ev adopters will be really sore, especially when thay try to sell a used ev. Good luck to them.

I drove my 98 Firebird V6 nonestop 276 miles at an average speed of eighty miles per hour (I had cops passing me with my speedometer showing 85) I filled the tank at the end and did the calculation and it came out to 30.5 miles to the gallon. I understand if anyone wants to call bullshit on that especially as the car over any given week averages 16 mpg. I did the calculation four times in disbelief. Same result.
