An 8 gallon (30 liter) 3600 psi Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) tank would provide the equivalent energy of 2.7 gallons of gasoline, would make frunk space far more useful than it's current job as EVSE storage (a 10" diameter by 33" cylinder would do the trick), would emit significantly less pollutants than gasoline, and would get our California friends their coveted white sticker.
Better yet, how 'bout a 17 gallon (64 liter) tank, giving the equivalent energy of 5.8 gallons of gasoline with an increase of only 4" in diameter (14" diameter by 33" cylinder length) and the ability to travel at least 174 miles beyond battery depletion (assuming economy greater than or equal to 30mpg gasoline equivalent.)
