I remember when I had the air con om my older diesel turning the air con for a few seconds and magically all the condensation was gone. My electric polo has Aircon, although unused. Sadly I'm having trouble finding a DC variable speed compressor I could power from the main pack. I feel tempted to just use the dehumidifier motor with a few grams of R290. That would also give me 500W of heating, assuming a COP of 2.

Anyone successfully used an electric Prius compressor? I hear they are induction with built in inverter.
