Amazed at how much technology has improved though since 2006 with hybrids. When using the ac in my Ioniq, at the lowest setting it absolutely drains almost no energy. Even last summer I did a 130 mile trip with the ac on and my average mpg on the whole trip was 74mpg. And that was with going thru a mountain pass. Highway driving I just used outside ventilation coming in the air intakes with everything turned off if it’s under 80 degrees with windows up. City driving if it’s under 80 I just cracked all 4 windows about an inch
It’s the same situation with my girlfriends 2020 Corolla hybrid. Ac system barely affects mpg at all and no battery drain. Extremely efficient. Would be curious if anyone on this forum has a prius prime and their thoughts with its giant battery
