Flush vs exposed EV charge port: test the 0.002–0.006 Cd claim

Flush EV charge ports claim a 0.002–0.006 Cd gain; verify it with a coastdown test or validated CFD at your ride height and highway speed before paying.

Abstract

Flush EV charge ports claim a 0.002–0.006 Cd gain; verify it with a coastdown test or validated CFD at your ride height and highway speed before paying.
