    Belts drive the clutch. I haven’t seen a single production car that has a direct driven compressor.

        Then turning it off doesn’t give you more power in those cases, and even those ones will limit the kw output to the electric AC during wide open watts if the battery can’t supply the output. But most evs don’t need to turn off the ac because the battery output exceeds the electric motor requirements
