I wonder if anyone else here has left a fast charger and driven off with the charging grill open ?
I have done it a couple of times and on both occasions my driving efficiency has nose dived, hardly any surprise you might say with the added drag.
But, here's my question, on either sides of the charging port is a grill with open holes ducting air through to the inside of the bonnet, this must have a significant drag effect as well.
Has anybody here managed to block off this part of the grill, it should make the car much more aerodynamic.
Any advice would be gratefully accepted (except don't do it because it cools the drive motor, In summer maybe but when it's 0%C and driven carefully, I will risk it).
