Can I run my A/C on a battery powered car during a 95+ degree Mississippi August afternoon? While pulling my bass boat up a hill passing a semi?

Point of note. The article is about hybrids. Electric motors have tremendous torque. One has essentially flat torque from 0 to 13500 rpm allowing the vehicle to require only 2 gear speeds.
The article is discussing plug in hybrids, and yes, there are vehicles coming onto the market in the next few years that will do all of the above.
I wonder if the hydrolic hybrid pickups are still coming out. The give you all of the benefits of regenerative breaking and standard ICE without the cost of batteries. That system is supposed to have a 2-3 year payback.
