Can a hybrid car idle on the battery and keep the AC running?
The Toyota Prius has electric AC, the gasoline engine will only run at idle with the ac when the battery drops below 50 %. The power steering is also electric. The same is also true for the Ford Escape hybrid. When you run the air conditioning, the gas engine will run until the a/c is fully charged then it will run off battery power. The downside of this is that you are deep cycling the batteries and shortening the life.

A: AIR conditioning on a car is a load on the engine. The load is constant as long as the AC is on.

If the engine is small on a very hot day climbing a long hill it should be shut off for the climb if the engine still gets very hot then turn on the heater to get rid of some of the engine heat don't forget to open the windows while roasting but that will help the engine if running hot.
