So I am a lil nuts about this whole electric car and efficiency thing.. One of the most confusing things about the ev6 is the lack of air curtains on the front wheel wells. Every percentage counts. I wonder why they didn't bother. The GT-lines even look like they have the port in the front bumper.. I know the FE/wind i looked at last week didn't have it.

Follow the $$$.

Its always a delicate balance between engineering, design, production, and finance. Finance generally pulls rank followed closely by engineering.

If you look into the wheel wells there is 3 slots on both sides of the front wheels, those feed air into the wheel wells when the vent / flap in the front opens while driving. I would take a picture of it, but my wheel wells are packed with snow.

Can anyone else confirm they are there?

No curtains exit on Exclusive (Wind/FE).

It kinda looks like possible for air to enter in the front, but no.

Any fenderwell pictures from a GT-line bodied car??

The Wind trim does have three vertical slats in the front of the front wheelwell, but I cannot confirm that they route to the front active air flap. Any idea how to open it?

Seeing the GT-Line, in video, they clear have the holes for the air curtains. The WIND styling does not have any of this. Not sure if the venting in the interwall does much for this.
