India’s Tata motors (pause while everyone makes their own jokes) has developed a car that runs on air. Seriously. OK – it’s compressed air but it runs about 200-300km, which is roughly 12-190 miles on a fillup which costs about $2. As a bonus, the only exhaust output is air, making the cars essentially zero-emission. I could find no info about the availability of air conditioning but, being India, they might need it. Also if they plan to sell any in Alabama. Still, it’s pretty cool.
Tata Motors to introduce Air Car – Is it the next big thing?
If these become popular it will be funny to see how the Feds complain about the loss of tax revenue from gasoline. Don’t think they’ll still find a way to tax air?
