I see on you tube that there is a company (I think in France) that is manufacturing a new car that runs on compressed air. Just wanted to know if anyone in this forum has toyed with the idea of converting an ICE powered car over to compressed air. It looks very promising as the high pressure tanks would cost less than batteries and would never wear out. Plus, if you had large "refueling" tanks, you could re-fill the on board tanks in about 5 min.
