With a strong enough tank (which will add hundreds of pounds of weight
itself) and high enough pressure, I guess it's possible.

People forget that the energy has to come from somewhere, though.

If significant numbers of people stop using gasoline and use utility
electric sources (e.g. for charging batteries, compressing air,
whatever) the current electrical grid will probably not cope with the
additional load.  We already have rolling blackouts in some urban areas
-- imagine adding to that the load of millions of people charging their
cars.
