One would think a delivery truck would have AC?
Also, sure, climate change, but Phoenix has always been in a desert, hasn't it? And every single year they have many people die because they are unhoused. Because it's a desert.
So why didn't they even ask that manager how many apartments or shelters were actually necessary?

- hedora 3y agoI’ve noticed my EV’s AC can’t really keep up with >100F weather unless the car is moving, which pushes air past the radiator. I know, because sometimes I sit and work with it “running” and the AC on. Doing that overheated the compressor on our 2008 ICE car, so I don’t think the problem is specific to EVs. Anyway, I wonder how hard it is to cool a delivery van that doesn’t move much and whose door is opened every few minutes.
- LorenPechtel 3y agoIt's not just your EV. Most car ACs aren't really designed for scorching heat. I do agree it's effectively impossible to cool a vehicle whose doors are going to be opened frequently--the aim should be to throw cool air at the driver and not worry about the rest of it.
