Air compressing tires on a vehicle can utilize tire deformation during vehicle motion to compress a gas. The compressed gas can be discharged from the tire to a pressure regulating vessel on the vehicle. The compressed gas can be stored or used for power generation on board the vehicle. In some cases, the power generated can be used to extend battery power and/or range of an electric vehicle.
