They have these gigantic carbon fibre air tanks under the car that give a range close to 300 miles per fill up. With a home compressor, IIRC, it takes like 2 hours to fill them up. With an industrial compressor it's something like 2-3 minutes.

The motor is a little rotary looking thing that only requires a little bit of lube to keep it going. So there would still be oil changes but they wouldn't be nearly as common as on an ICE. But no pollutants and no having to buy gas. It's an awesome solution but a lot of people are turned off by the looks and light weight design.
