while this is true, because of regenerative braking, the hydralic/mechanical brakes aren't at as much risk for overheating and therefore do not have the same cooling requirements.
as with everything else, optimization of cooling versus aerodynamics is required. and with electric vehicles and regenerative braking, aerodynamics can be prioritized more than with your typical ICE sportscar, where braking performance and cooling is prioritized.
