Compressed Air Car from Tata

by Vinny

Tata, a car company based in India, is planning on releasing their compressed air car late this year or early next year in France and India. These cars are one of the best ways I have seen to switch over to alternative energy, since the air released doesn't have any greenhouse gasses. The only problem is that when you get more air, it takes energy to power that, so we would need to use another form of energy to make the electricity for these stations. These new cars aren't perfect yet, seeing as they can only run for 125 miles without recharging, and it only travels up to 68mph. Again, on the plus side it is only $2 to charge up. Hopefully the French and Indians start buying these cars so that they can start bringing them to America! For more information, click here.
