Me too. I just picked up a Milwaukee M18 Inflator and one station charger that will work in the 120v console outlet. Pump, charger and xtra batteries fit nicely into a Harbor Freight bag, and room for other tools. Sure beats having to string hoses and/or wires to all four corners.

I haven’t actually timed it but I would say maybe 10-12 minutes to air up all four of my 37” tires from 10 psi to 25 psi. It’s quick enough that I’m not in a big hurry to upgrade. Also worth mentioning is with a 6.0 amp hour battery I only use one bar or 25% of the capacity.
It's 6.35cfm, faster than the arb single and nearly 3x as fast as the viar 400P that's way too popular for it's performance in my opinion. Less than half the price and it moves some serious air. They can flame all they want when they overpaid for an underperforming compressor. My smitybuilt was only $100 and moves 5.6cfm. 15 years later it's still going strong.
Dang, wish I new that a couple months ago. I got a clone from Amazon for about $100 more: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DS1QZCBRAny of those dual compressors from Napa, Thor's lightning, (That green one), Are all made by the same manufacturer in China.
I purchased it straight from the manufacturer myself and saved about a hundred bucks, but you can buy it from any of those guys too.
Here's a link to the manufacturer of this dual compressor
You're going to have to chat with them and tell them that you want to buy a single sample piece, and make sure you are clear that you want the digital gauge on it. It's automatic and in my experiences it's pretty damn accurate. It'll turn on and off like 2 or 3 times while it checks the PSI before it keeps airing up. But you can do all four tires with this thing in less than 5 minutes.
I don't know what shipping's going to be at this point and with the tariffs it might actually cost you more. For me it came out to about $160, and took two and a half months to get to me. But That was better than the $260 that Thor's Lightning was trying to charge for the exact same thing.
I run 37s on interlock wheels, air down to 10 PSI and it gets hot airing up back to 28 PSI, but maybe because it's straight from the manufacturer in China, it doesn't have that safety feature?
At least one of the high output (10+ CFM) compressor purveyors specifically warns against inflating one tire at a time (essentially due to potential for heat-related damage). It sounds like they're building in protection circuits now (for some of the ones with PSI-based auto-shutoff brains, anyway), which is pretty slick.
