Do You Need to Start the Car to Turn on the Air Conditioning When Resting in the Car?
1 Answers
For conventional fuel-powered vehicles, the engine must be running to use the air conditioning. Here's the explanation: Reason: The air conditioning in a conventional fuel-powered car relies on the engine to operate. If the car is not started, the air conditioning cannot be used. In contrast, electric vehicles can run the air conditioning without starting the car. Additional Note: While it is technically possible to turn on the air conditioning without starting the car, the air coming out will only be natural air blown by the fan. This is because the air conditioning compressor is powered by the engine, and when the car is off, the compressor does not function. The fan, which blows natural air, is powered by the battery. However, prolonged use of the fan can drain the battery excessively, potentially leading to long-term battery depletion.
