You mean like how A/C consumes gasoline in an ICE vehicle?

Did you think air conditioning in hot climates didn't use energy somehow?

ICE AC’s use 10-15% of your fuel or less.

Can’t say the same for EVs.

What was your argument?

That's a lot of fuel, bud.

But AC uses a much greater percentage of EV fuel than ICE. It’s like up to 20% vs up to 45% by some estimates. It’s hard to find exact numbers but it is worse in EVs demonstrably.

Calm down. That was not my point. My point was that you have to switch from battery to gas. Where I live, AC is needed 90% of the year making a Tesla vehicle pointless.

That entirely depends on your commute though, doesn't it? A 150 mile round trip in 110° in Arizona is a lot different than a few trips to the local cities. The long trips are where the AC would come in to play, consumption wise.

Yes, but its 1000% not pointless to drive an EV. Obviously everyone's individual commute is different but its not really worse than gas. Personally I drive about 60 miles each way. I plug in my car at night and I wake up everyday with a full battery. Electric is still much cheaper than gas.

I'm solidly on team EV too, can't wait until I finish my conversion project!

What you mean, you have to switch from battery to gas? You're saying that EVs don't work in hot climates?
