The article presents the process of selecting an optimal concept of an electric car bodywork according to the criterion of minimum aerodynamic drag. It also presents design and construction assumptions, the field of possible solutions and aerodynamic simulation results. Based on the performed analyzes, an optimal design solution was selected and graphical results of simulations for the best solution were presented.
