Eco Car

Can someone shed some light on EV (Electric Vehicles)?

Does anyone make them with air conditioning? If nobody sells them like this, what kind of parts would i need to buy to add this essential to my own EV and how expensive is that? What is the reduction of battery life while using air conditioning?
Shai Agassi is definitely moving in the right direction. but i'm not talking about mass produced cars of the future. People do it themselves in their back yards, today! converting pre exhisting cars. and this is what my question refers to

Your initial question is rather broad so I will refer you to a very broad website: http://www.electric-cars-are-for-girls.com/ Despite the play on words it is a fairly comprehensive site and brings together a lot of information that I have seen in many places.

With respect to air conditioning and electric vehicles, if you just installed electrical components and prayed for the best you will have to decrease your potential distance traveled with every cool degree you enjoy. The extent of battery life reduction will depend upon how much heat gain is soaked up by the vehicle and how well insulated the vehicle will be from the outside temps. But there are several alternatives to the issue:

The Aptera has solar panels on it' roof to operate a fan so you can keep hot air from building up in the vehicle when it is just sitting. This will decrease some of the initial AC load.

The same vehicle is using a heat pump which means the same device that is providing AC can be switched to provide heat when necessary.

After this you might begin to look at some of the solutions that have been used with refrigerated trailers and boxes used in shipping.

Once refrigerant was just sprayed into the compartment this was not too good for the environment. But any compressed gas will give a refrigeration effect when released even just air. Other solutions include: Simply adding dry ice to the compartment (ice cream trucks) and providing a self powering refrigerating unit.

An even more novel approach might be to approach the problem as they do with passive solar houses. To maintain a more constant temperature you need to add thermal mass. While masonry has a specific heat of about 2 and water is about 4 some salts are around 8. These salts are phase change materials and providing enough of it would soak up heat for release later when you might need it at night. PCM are kind of a battery for heat.
