Ok, this seems slightly fishy. But from this article ...
https://carbuzz.com/renault-filante-ev-record/
... Renault claims they achieved a 621 mile trip at an average of about
63mph (9 hours, 52 min) with an 87 kWh battery, and about 11% charge
remaining. That would be 8 miles per kWh.
So, when you look at the picture of the vehicle, you'll say "of course,
it's streamlined." But they claim the efficiency was due to engineering
and weight and that the Cd is actually 0.4 (quite high for any vehicle).
I'm skeptical of that, but then again, if you look at some of the shots,
you'll see a lot of horizontal control rods, each of which probably have
a lot of drag. So, who knows ?
If they are right, this could give great opportunity to increase range
in many other vehicles.
