- R0b0t1 5y agoI'm aware, and compressed gas storage containers are equally low if not lower. They also fail in a way that is safer than batteries fail. The tanks are engineered to split and the limited, usually zero, shrapnel is redirected downward. What really limits compressed air as a vehicle energy store is the inability to reasonably run climate control off of it.
