I can't imagine the pressure the air tank would need to withstand in order to power the vehicle & passenger for 120-180 miles.

Still, if such a thing were viable, it would work essentially the same with the first "refill" as the 500th, as opposed to current battery technology. Since the air compressor would be electric, it would essentially be an all-electric car but which converted the electric to compressed air.

I'll believe it when I see it... I have my doubts, and the temp at the nozzle would be pretty high.
