← Back to context Comment by dotancohen 13 hours ago The Cd matters for highway driving, but weight is the dominating factor for city driving. 3 comments dotancohen Reply xethos 12 hours ago As efficiency improves across motors and inverters, wouldn't regen make CoD matter more, possibly tilting it to the dominant factor again? dotancohen 2 hours ago Regen recoups about 80% of the kinetic energy, and it is already up close to the theoretical physical limit without switching to exotic materials.Cd will never be the dominating factor at speeds which do not produce significant aerodynamic drag. thfuran 10 hours ago I don’t think there’s a whole lot of room for improvement there.
