Does a car's air conditioning use electricity or fuel?

[DelSienna]

Car air conditioning indirectly operates using fuel, and it does consume more fuel when the air conditioning is on. Generally, electric vehicles use electric compressors, while traditional fuel-powered vehicles typically connect the compressor to the engine's crankshaft via a belt, rather than being electrically driven. This is the main reason why using air conditioning increases fuel consumption. Relevant information about car air conditioning is as follows: 1. Introduction: The car air conditioning device (air-conditioning-device), commonly referred to as car air conditioning. 2. Function: It adjusts and controls the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the car cabin to optimal conditions, providing a comfortable environment for passengers and reducing travel fatigue; it also creates favorable working conditions for the driver and plays a crucial role in ensuring safe driving as a ventilation device.
