List Of Cars In Which The AC Can Be Operated Even If Engine Is Not Running by InkredibleHulk: 4:39pm On May 31, 2023
There are a few models of cars that have a feature known as "auxiliary or independent cooling" or "engine-off cooling," which allows the air conditioning to work even when the engine is not running. This feature is typically available in hybrid and electric vehicles, as they have separate systems to power the air conditioning.

Here are some car models that may have this feature, although availability may vary depending on the region and model year:

1. Tesla Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y: Tesla's electric vehicles often have a feature called "Cabin Overheat Protection," which uses battery power to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the car even when it's parked and the engine is off.

2. Chevrolet Bolt EV: The Chevrolet Bolt EV is an all-electric vehicle that may have a feature to allow the air conditioning to work when the car is parked.

3. Nissan Leaf: The Nissan Leaf, an electric vehicle, may have a system that allows the air conditioning to function even when the engine is off.

4. BMW i3: The BMW i3, an electric vehicle, may have a feature called "Stationary Climate Control," which enables the air conditioning to work even when the car is not running.

5. Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a plug-in hybrid vehicle that may have a feature called "PTC Electric Heater," which allows the air conditioning to work when the engine is off.

6. Volvo XC90 T8: The Volvo XC90 T8 is a plug-in hybrid vehicle that may have a feature known as "Preconditioning," which allows the air conditioning to work when the car is parked.

These are just a few examples, and other electric or hybrid vehicles from various manufacturers might also offer similar features. It's important to note that the availability of engine-off cooling may depend on the specific model, trim level, and optional packages chosen. It's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications or contact a local dealership to confirm the availability of this feature in a specific vehicle model.
