Default Electric Car? How about a Compressed Air Car?



No. it has an optional gas-powered kicker motor that also recompresses
the carbon-fiber air tanks. Just caught something about it on television
the other day. Plus, it's loud as hell; sounds like somebody's driving an
air compressor.

Noisy they are. I have been around air tuggers (large winches) in
marine operations, and also air starters for diesels. Deafening.
