I like the idea of SatanicMechanic of getting a bunch of CNG for "home use". So, It's expensive to install just a big tank at your house? And can you just transfer from the big tank to the car's tank pretty safely? Why would anyone mention that a car is CNG powered? My EV is just a "regular car" as far as the insurance in concerned, and no-one seems to know the difference.

Is it hard to convert an old car to CNG? That way, there may be no emissions requirement. But where I live there aren't any emissions issues anyway. I had no idea that a regular car could be so easily converted to CNG. I thought it would be a major engine change.
