Reply to comment by willbeach8890 in New Nio 500 kW ultra-fast Power Charger 3.0 can charge a car from 10-80% in only 12 minutes by Surur

Imagine being without AC for TWELVE minutes.

I don’t think that’s why they really care. Heating and cooling can use a significant amount of energy in certain conditions. If it’s extremely hot or cold they can heat or cool the car while on charge so that the car is near the temp they want when they start driving. Maintaining that temperature will take less energy to achieve plus it will be a more steady, slow draw rather than a big surging draw if the heating/cooling system had to work at max power.

The issue is not power. AC takes about 5kW at most, a drop in the bucket compared to propulsion.

It's because AC has to work overtime to cool the battery during charging, so there's no cool air left for the cabin.

You have to sit somewhere while it’s charging. You can’t sit in summer sun with a baby for even 12 minutes without A/C…

How did humans ever survive 100000 BC - 1950s without car AC??

Why can’t you? I have a baby and am pretty familiar with the issues surrounding them.

No, no you don't.

What kind of rich asshole are you?

I only just got a car that has A/C 2 years ago. I'm a millionaire. Granted that was mostly by choice that I didn't upgrade my 30 year old car, but I still don't have AC on my house. I used to live in Phoenix, AZ., And now live where it still gets 110°F in the summer. I raised 3 kids with no A/C. It wasn't even inconvenient.

Whole lotta bullshit in one post. Maybe Could have actually been convincing if it wasn’t for the last sentence.

The 'raising 3 kids without A/C not an inconvenience' wasn't convincing?

So your parents were rich assholes too? I'm sorry they found you inconvenient, with or without A/C.

Now mind you I come from oil money. Oklahoma, no A/C even existed when we got the family minerals rights, old oil money. I've seen my fair share of rich assholes.

If Jeff Foxworthy talked about rich assholes instead of rednecks:

If you're complaining about something you don't have when some other people don't have it either, you might be a rich asshole.

If your "need" is a luxury comfort, you might be a rich asshole.

If your children are inconvenient because your wants aren't met, you might be a rich asshole.
