The Tata AirPod: a car that runs on compressed air...
What would be interesting is if it could carry a small electrically powered compressor that you could plug in for emergencies.

I think this is exactly what the electric motor does: compress the air if you run low.

Wait - you want to use a battery, to power a motor, to compress air, to then power another motor?

No - I meant powering a compressor using mains power.
