Do electric cars have good air conditioning?
If electric cars don’t have an internal combustion engine to power the HVAC system, do they still have air conditioning?
Allison Stone · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Yes, electric cars have air conditioning systems just like gas-powered cars, but they will be powered by an electric battery rather than an engine.
It should be noted that just like how running your AC on a hot summer day can eat into your gas mileage, the same is true for your electric car’s range.
Other conditions that will impact the range of your electric car include:
- Cold temperatures
- Driving at high speeds
- Accelerating quickly
