Running everything off the battery is only efficient for accessories that have a low duty cycle. Burning petrol to charge a battery is very inefficient and as you switch more accessories to electric recovering enough energy under regen becomes problematic.

Currently yes but in the future car manufacturers will begin to solve the regenerative braking problem with Boost caps instead of batteries which has all ready started to happen.
They have also started to tackle accessories that have a higher duty cycle like AC with solar panel support. Better window glazing, better cabin insulation, and more efficient design will all help to reduce cabin temp fluctuations.
Burning Petrol period currently is inefficient so we have to be creative and selective in when and how we use the resource for maximum efficiency gain with in an entire system strategy.
