Solectria vehicles retained the factory Geo Metro aircon system, and drove the compressor with a small (1hp?) DC brushless motor and controller. The system seems to have been robust and reliable, if somewhat noisy. It used about 1500 watts from the traction battery. The additional cost for a 1994 Force with aircon was $2700. I assume that some of that was the cost of the system in the donor Geo Metro, and some was the Solectria motor and controller, but I don't know how those two factors balanced out.
