It's getting HOT and summer far from over. I'm looking for alternatives to a conventional HVAC system. I like the ideal of electronically run ac and heating system that will not rob power from the engine. I was wanting to know if anyone swapped HVAC system from an electric vehicle?

Thanks in advance.

We might get down to 75F for a few minutes in late September. Right now you have be out at 4:30 am to enjoy brief few minutes when it dips below 100.

I drove from Prescott yesterday and through some strecthes reached 126 through the Sonoran desert.

The 6.2 in the Superduty and modern AC was just able to disspate that heat towing our Covid townhome behind us back to Cali.

I.d go with the evaporative cooling solution.
