Looks cool and brilliant idea! It's like pumping a ball, instead it's pumping the car with 'fuel' to run the car -clapclap Not shabby because if you're driving on a normal road, speed are usually below 30mph
i remember this concept when i was still at uni 5 years ago and my lecturer was talking about it in principle it should have the least carbon foot print and most hybrid efficient currently i think that the powercell for EV is bit too heavy along with that electric motor and the battery need to be replaced after few years also for zero emission, charging the battery directly from an external power source, it will take alot of time to charge it there is a concept where we can that power from the grid to compressed the air (at petrol station) and have these compressed air be transferred to a tank in car transferring this compressed air is like filling petrol to tank the mechanical parts for running the car with compressed air should have a much longer life than a battery well this is just my theory, I'm not in the vehicle industry, i may be just waffling
As for the gas tax angle, some revenue proponents are suggesting taxation on total miles driven instead; ie. the more mileage you drive, the more you pay. In essence, this sounds like a workable solution but, I'm not sure how I would feel about having a highly compressed air tank sitting right next to me. In an accident, compressed air can be explosive if the container that has it entrapped, is ruptured. I get the uncanny fear that one might be driving a potential bomb, LOL...
