The a/c on the PHEV is an electric compressor…so, it works just fine when the ICE is running or not! But, I think you’ll find more and more companies on more and more vehicles that will be disabling the ASS, as it affects their corporate average fuel economy, which keeps being mandated to improve. This is also driving them to improve the performance of that functionality. Some have a very long ways to go in that department, but the newest BMWs are pretty good compared to some others.
