I’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.
