A typical room AC is only 5000-8000 BTU. Household central AC's are rated by the tonnage of air it cools; 1 ton = 12000BTW. A typical household central AC is 1.5-3 ton. The AC in a typical car is 30-50 ton capacity; nobody is sitting around for half an hour for the car to cool off, unlike the living room ;-)
