My leaf goes down the road using between a half ton and 1 ton worth of A/C. But you need to over size when your car starts off at at 144F and you want to cool it down while the sun is still shining in.
I did a test where I put an 8,000btu air conditioner in the back seat and trunk area of a car with fold down seats. I opened the trunk, packed towels around the A/C and it barely kept the car comfortable sitting in the sun.
