I just did some searches on ebay for electric a/c but got zip? Where do you buy electric a/c kits?

I want one. Otherwise I will have to sell my car and buy a a/c model.

No wait. Found these via google:
!Portable 12-Volt Swampy Air Conditioners & Evaporative Coolers. is a swamp cooler that wont function well in humid places (florida, tropical islands etc)

Lubra New Zealand Limited - draws 5amps at 230v, would require a large expensive inverter and draw nearly 100amps from a 12v system!!! suit 65cubic meter space (motorhome) so if a car model is available, will draw at least 25amps

KOOLERAIRE?Portable A/C: Roshgo Corporation needs ice but cheap at $40, kind of superinconvient if you ask me.

Bottom line. Effective a/c uses up to 5hp. Hard to beat a engine driven compressor unless you want to muck around with ice every morning and run out of cool later in the day.

I think the guys at cleanmpg have a chest harness that straps kinda a block of ice to your chest....
