NOVELTY - An electric vehicle includes an air conditioner (111) mounted on a frame and thermally coupled to a cab. The air conditioner includes an inverter (114) for driving an electric compressor (120) coupled to an independent battery, particularly an internal battery (104), for air conditioning. The air conditioner also comprises a condenser (122) coupled to a capillary tube (126) coupled to an evaporator (128) and accumulator (124). A solar cell (106) is coupled to the independent battery and air conditioner.    USE - Electric vehicle. Can also be used as an electric car or as electrical truck for moving up to 1600 pounds of cargo during off-road use and which is ideal for corporate campuses, warehouses, universities, factories, municipal operations and around the ranch or farm.    ADVANTAGE - The air conditioner contributes to the excellence of life and creates a comfortable and vigorous vehicular environment apart from outside conditions. The temperature is kept to a comfortable range due to the cooling capability provided by the air conditioner. The use of the air conditioner also controls humidity in the temperature while cooling down the air, and provides freshening and ventilation effects. Air purification is realized using an efficient purification system or using filters integrated within the fan assembly or air ducts. Dust filters can be employed to collect very small particles of dust and microorganisms to avoid spread of bacteria. By equipping the air conditioner with the filters, assistance to patients suffering from asthma or allergies can be realized.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for operating an electric vehicle.
