Search youtube for "Guy Negre", that is the engineer. The material there is not the short report I saw ion German TV today, and the car on Tv looked more ugly, but it is the same inventor. Data varies. One tankload of compressed air is either 100km in rnage, or 200 km, or 200 miles. Tanking air lasts 3-5 minutes, costinging you around 1.50 Euros or 1.50 Dollars (the energy needed to compressor the air) - depends on wether you watch CNN or BBC. costs one year ago were said to be 15.000 bucks, today are projected to be around 3500-5000 bucks.
The car is not an electric car - it does not get charged as you said.
Negre is heavily supported by financial investors. The cars are to go into mass production next year.
