Air-con systems on Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (EV’s) cars aren’t just necessary for a cold, comfortable cabin. EV air-con systems are also essential in ensuring the electric motors, batteries and axles remain cool. Electric car components get very hot when in use and could overheat and fail without a fully operational and well maintained air-con system.

What air-con gas is used for Hybrid and EV’s? You may be wondering what air-con gas is suitable to use on a Hybrid or EV? There are things we need to consider before re-gasing an air-con system on an electric vehicle however the type of gas needed is likely to be determined on when the car was manufactured as opposed to whether it’s an EV. As most electric cars have been manufactured in the last 4 years you’ll probably need the new generation air-con gas R1234YF. Hybrid cars manufactured before 2018 may still require the traditional R134A gas.

EV PAG oil Using the correct PAG oil is essential when re-gasing a Hybrid or EV air-con system. If the incorrect PAG oil was used then there’s a risk is could conduct high voltage to the compressor case or connected components. This could potentially lead to damage to components and even electric shock. This is why all our air-con equipment uses a universal PAG oil in every re-gas. Universal PAG oil is suitable for both R1234A & R134YF gas and is suitable to use on both Hybrid and Electric cars.

Signs of decreasing range in EV • When your air-con refrigerant is low, the air-con system has to work harder to cool the air in the cabin. This extra work uses more power and reduces your EV range. • Your air-con isn’t as cold as it used to be and may even feel like it’s blowing warm air • When you switch the air-con on it smells musty and have a stale odour • You notice more condensation on your windows • Test the temperature of the vehicle using a temperature probe.

Replacing cabin filters on an EV? Electric cars have far less filters than a conventional car which means servicing is much simpler than it is for a petrol or diesel powered vehicles. However, one very important filter they do still need is the cabin filter. Electric vehicle manufacturers usually recommend you change the cabin filter every 2 years.
