    What powers the ac compressor on an electric vehicle?

    I noticed a lot of the gas vehicles that turn off, seem to turn back on after a couple of minutes. Probably to power the ac. Either that or they moved forward slightly at the stop light and started the cycle over again. My ac is out on my truck so my window has been down and I notice these...

    Discount tire only balanced the inside of the tire.

    I never saw them balance them and my truck was in the bay next to the window. Pretty sure they out a small clip on weight on the outside without balancing it thinking ill be happy. That was the point where I got mad and told them to just do whatever.
