He addresses it down in the comments. The larger rims create more air buffering. He also mentions how closing up the rims help like Tesla does on it's SR+ Model 3 and Ford does with the California Route 1 Mach-E (both come with 18" rims, too).Cool video, but unless I missed it, I don't think it explains WHY the higher diameter rims reduce range. Is it just the air resistance of the higher diameters? Could that be fixed by having fins in the rims?
