If parked how often does the ICE on the hybrid cycle on to charge up the battery to run the A/C? 5min ICE for 20min A/C, like that.
Thanks

I was surprised here in texas how well the AC works off HVB. I usually don't time it, but I would say 3-4songs. I run mine at 75°, waiting for wife to get groceries, but then I also turn mav off, till I can't stand it, then back on again. For a vehicle on blacktop in sun 108° ambient it does well. Some would say the condenser fan is loud.
I think my FE doesn't take a huge hit like one would think running AC w/o ICE on. Maybe 15mins, on/off twice. Its nuts too as I am listening to jams, I jump when the ICE starts!!
