the reverend natural light wrote the typically short-sighted environmentalist will of course agree that it is a zero pollution vehicle. but you cant beat the game. the energy comes from somewhere. it does use an interesting method to store energy. id be interested to know how the efficiency compares a batteries or how much pollution-per-mile it produces when charged off of a coal burning power grid. it appears to require very little power to re-charge. the article claims that it can be re-charged in 3-4 minutes with the on-board compressor plugged in to a 220v or 380v outlet. that doesnt sound too bad to go 125-185 miles. -- ken .
