I don't know if it's really practical, but the company does have its own
website. <http://www.zeropollution.com/zeropollution/concept.html>

Perhaps they run on hot air collected at Congressional hearings.

This whole concept of calling a vehicle "Zero Polluting" is laughable when
it requires a rather large and extensive electic grid fueled in much of the
world by fossil fuels.  With the transmission losses, the true efficiency
at the wheels is much less than for some highly efficient gasoline or
diesel powered vehicles and certainly less than some of the hybrids
available today.

What happens when compressed air at 300-bar is released in a wreck? You'd
have a car bomb! That's about 4,500 psi!
