Turning on and off increases wear in cars not designed for it. The cars that have the feature have beefy starters, it is a non-issue. And it does save a bit of gas and emissions at red lights, and stopped in traffic, and especially for assholes that leave the car on while their partner goes for a “quick” grocery run.
One of the nice things about EVs is being able to just run the aircon whenever I want, even in a closed garage. I charge on solar, the energy doesn’t matter.
