Ac compressor is driven off the motor.

My initial approach was to increase the evaporative fluid capacity of the system. So i can run the compressor for a bit and then use the sotred coolnes??


Note that my local driving is accelerate decelerate accelerate decelerate. Eco driving is very difficult due to the general lack of iq in the population (average of 85) ignorance of the population (you would be surprised at the amount of people who propose a perpetual motion machine fro EVs) and the lack of common sense and joy of consuming the rights of others (despite it being the only sin that is unforgivable in the local religion). Safe driving distance is a joke over here, some one immediately fills the void. And crashes of 7-8 cars is a common occurance.

So, if i can stock up on the « cool « while decelerating that will be a very significant contributor to FE.
