Electric Car Styling Design and Aerodynamic Drag Optimization

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper takes a research on low-drag electric cars, and set a technical route that design with ideal aerodynamic shapes and then developed into car-like shape. At last, both design refinement and aerodynamics optimization are given, finally comes out a successful concept electric car design with a nice aerodynamic of Cd=0.19.
