The Tata AirPod: a car that runs on compressed air...
Most petrol stations in the UK have an air compressor that you can use to top up your tyres. I wonder if these could be re-purposed.

I'm pretty sure you don't top up your tyres to 20MPa (~200 bar)

Yep, 2900 psi; and I just read that they plan to upgrade to 4400 psi tanks.
For reference, I put about 40 psi in my car's tires.
