Yes but why not just use the electricity you would use to compress the air and put it directly into the battery. Use the least amount of steps to charge your battery.

sometimes travelling far beyond the battery energy.
If you could find a station that had enough air pressure plus cubic feet per minute and enough loose change that most gas station air pumps require now days you could probably run a small air motor driven generator. I think people would become suspicious of you hanging around the air supply for three to four hours though. I built a couple air motors after reading about air powered cars. I never could get an 1800 pound car to go over 15 mph with 4,000 pounds of air. At 150 lbs shop air the motor would spin pretty fast with no load but would bog down with the slightest load. My design needed a lot more work to improve efficiency but I am convinced that air power is only good for tools and small wenches. You would be better of offering the station attendant $10 to let you plug in for a few hours.
I would set the car up for quick charge. So you could charge your vehicle with in 30 minutes to 80%.
I know in Europe that they are now installing quick chargers at locations about the place, you can always drop in to a Nissan dealer offer them a few €€€/$$$/￥￥￥ to charge up.
Can this work??
