I'd say it's more then a bit. I think we're arguing semantics here.
Run heavy polluted air thru a carbon filter, it reduces said pollution.
Then increase number of these vehicles in a city, equals more reduction in pollution.
And I'm not talking about 100 or so. More in the thousands.

Do you have any data on how storing energy in compressed air compares against storing it in lithium batteries? |
Cost.
Lithium technology is expensive. Going to a gas station and filling up with compressed air is cheaper.
