CNG filling at home sounds like a great idea. 3600psi natural gas compressors in every garage. WhaT CoUld PoSSiBLy gO wRoNG? If not done well, the problems would make electric vehicles look safe.
Also look into Adsorbed Natural Gas. It uses lower pressure. I did some calculations a while back about converting an air compressor to a low pressure ANG system. But since i had no training in it I wouldn't work on gas piping. Also they used to have buses with a big gas bag on the roof.
Many of the same benefits can be had with a PHEV. You're just burning the gas off board in a power plant or even a home NG generator.
These home CNG stations do exist, but they are like $30k atm, so I've never seriously looked at them. I imagine they have a means of mitigating the risk of the higher pressure, perhaps similar to whatever the CNG "gas stations" do. I don't know. But yes, it is not without danger, but if it is pressurizing a very small amount of gas, then the danger would be there but not as great.
Meanwhile a large bank of Li Ion Batteries (or worse tech) is a bomb. No thanks.
