To perform air-conditioning in a cabin, by effectively utilizing electric power being surplus electric power so far among electric power generated by a vehicle.
This air conditioner for the vehicle is applied to the vehicle capable of charging a battery 3 for supplying the electric power to a vehicle traveling motor 2 by the electric power generated by a generator (the vehicle traveling motor 2) mounted on the vehicle, and includes: a refrigerating cycle 20 including an electric compressor 21 for compressing and delivering a refrigerant by the electric power supplied from at least one of the generator and the battery 3, an expansion valve 24 for decompressing a high pressure refrigerant delivered from the compressor 21 and an evaporator 13 for cooling air blown off in the cabin by evaporating a low pressure refrigerant decompressed by the expansion valve 24; and a cold storage means (the evaporator 13) for storing cold heat in a cold storage agent S by absorbing the cold heat of the low pressure refrigerant and cooling the air blown off in the cabin by the cold heat stored in the cold storage agent S.
