A/C Consumption

[TaylorT2]

Hi all

Just wondering for when the summer comes around again, how big the impact is in on the battery/overall charge to use the A/C for cold air?

Is it a similar impact to how much is used in the Winter with the heaters?

Less than heating the car, but 2/3% of battery.

I'm in Australia and have been using my A/C pretty much all the time since I picked the car up in August. There have been times when I don't use it and comparing economy, when doing the same trip, it looks like 3% extra use while the A/C is running is par for the course.
