I think they are on the right track, but the wrong train! What if...
They did a full plug-in hybrid, (in a normal car, not this joke) but instead of an IC engine generating the backup power have the compressed air running the generator? I'm no engineer but it seems like with the right screw and piping on the generator compressed air could drive it for a while at least. And have a built in 110V compressor on board so if your batteries are low and your PSI is low just pull up ANYWHERE with a 110V outlet and let the MF pump itself back up!
At least we can dream...

How about if they did it so you can charge the air cylinder at the tyre pressure place in the gas station? Now, that would make it free!
