The power consumption varies depending on various factors. On average, a central air conditioner unit can use approximately 3,000 watts per hour during warmer days. When you run your air conditioner at a fan-only mode, it consumes around 750 watts each hour. Large, portable AC units can consume about 4,100 watts hourly, while mid-sized air conditioners use around 2,900 watts each hour. A large window AC uses up to 1,440 watts, a medium one uses 900 watts, and a small model uses about 500 watts.
I read separately an EV can use about 300 kwhr per month, call it 10 kwhr per day, to recharge. If you AC uses 3 kw per hour for say 10 hours, that is of course 30 per day. I'm not sure about this. And of course, the time of day usage for these two things is going to be different. It would seem to require more power at night when solar is not contributing but less power is needed as AC is working less often. What is going to provide this additional power? Coal?
