Not sure if you have heard about this or not..

but it seems pretty interesting..

basically they have made a car that runs on compressed air..
that you can charge with an air compressor for about $3.00 in electricity, or with an on board air compressor that you plug in, in about 4 hrs.

they estimate it to be able to go 120 miles on each fill up.

of course they say probably will never be in US..

well update on US:

Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM) confirmed to PopularMechanics.com on Thursday that it expects to produce the world’s first air-powered car for the United States by late 2009 or early 2010. As the U.S. licensee for Luxembourg-based MDI, which developed the Air Car as a compression-based alternative to the internal combustion engine, ZPM has attained rights to build the first of several modular plants, which are likely to begin manufacturing in the Northeast and grow for regional production around the country, at a clip of up to 10,000 Air Cars per year.
