Sorry I can't answer your question. I never thought about it before, but now that you ask the question, I guess that it would have a compressor with its own drive motor.

I'm interested in seeing what you find out.

Vs tech might know the answer.

Also come to think about it, in the Prius it probably runs on something other than 12 volts which of course will effect the current draw.
