Despite appearances, aerodynamics play an increasingly important part in modern car design in the drive for efficiency. Electric vehicles have the benefit of a reduced requirement for cooling at the front of the vehicle which allows a smoother and more aerodynamic nose, but it is important to remember that pedestrian impact mitigation is more of a factor with modern designs which to some degree dictates the design of the frontal area. Electric vehicles also have to accommodate large battery packs as well as provide decent cabin space, which is why many EVs tend to be taller in the body, and this inevitably means a larger frontal area. Even so, the Mercedes EQS, Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan have a drag coefficient of 0.22 or less, which is a testament to the level of aerodynamic excellent than modern cars can achieve.
