I carry an older Campbell Hausfeld 12V in my SUV with a plugging kit.  I bought a lighter socket with an SAE plug on it to plug into the SAE plug the battery charging cable has.

Similar to above.  Purchased from Harbor Freight 4 years ago, cost was 29.95   Currently runs about $7 more.  Pumps up to 100 psi.  Have used it numerous times / has worked well and has its own carrying case, sits under rear seat.

I've had two Slime air compressors burn out.  They have a hard time blowing up to even 45 pounds of pressure.

We carry a Ryobi battery-operated inflator/deflator.  It uses the same 18V battery as our drill/driver, chain saw, jigsaw, etc.  DeWalt, Makita, etc. have similar offerings.

The compressor isn't the fastest, but will go to 150 psi.  You can set pressure and the inflator will stop at that pressure, so you can do other stuff while it's airing up.  That makes its speed less important.  We added a quick release tire chuck to speed things up:



We use it a lot when we air down our truck tires to go offroad and then air up before towing again.
Haven't used the low pressure, high volume feature yet.

This is what we got from Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077N9PXV3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've used it a lot recently as we drove across the country and had to compensate for the decreasing altitude.  Works great and they say it's good up to 150 psi.  The meter is accurate compared to a pressure measuring stick. It runs off a 12vdv cigarette lighter plug.

I also carry a 12v cig lighter one for emergencies and it does the job albeit slowly, so usually I'll just stop at a gas station or use my home compressor. Get a good quality pressure gauge that reads at least 65 psi, the ones built into the compressors are very inaccurate.
