The reason it can be more efficient is that you are dealing with an extremely inefficient system to begin with. As a system the ICE driven car is usually about 25% efficient. That is, 75% of the energy is completely wasted. So even if there are losses in conversion if the new system is much more efficient you can still have a net gain. The point that was being made is that for a variety of reasons the Prius has an AC system which is more efficient than AC in conventional cars and that it uses less gasoline to run.
You could take your own advice.
