How much power does the A/C use in a car like that? You could probably run the A/C for free when it’s sunny.
When I had a rental Bolt EUV, perhaps a bit larger than this, air conditioning seemed to use about half a kW while sitting at the stop lights, so maybe 500 Wh? So your guess might track, actually.
Probably more than 500W considering you’re literally sitting in a greenhouse.
Maybe if you blocked off most of the windoes on the sunny side with reflectors.
