A gallon of gasoline is a gallon of gasoline (until it breaks down) and you can take it with you to extend range if you are going to be away from stations for awhile. The closest option is to buy a high capacity charger unit at wherever your hub becomes - which can be improbable, especially if you are going more than one charge will carry you.

Assessments of "less pollution" also depend on not understanding how much energy loss there is to get coal fired production into your vehicle. 1mW has to be generated, transfered, stored, transfered, and then stored into your battery before being put to use. Each transition, even if we are generous and say 90% (it's not 90% in the real world) at each point of transfer, you need to generate about 52% more energy (90% efficiency across 4 transitions).

Battery EVs are, simply, the luxury of the ultra rich. They are used as a virtue signal of how much the ultra rich care.

The only way you achieve "reduced emissions" is by getting a small high efficiency diesel generator attached to the electric car - a hybrid. This way you reduce the amount of fuel consumption, don't have range issues and you only lose to one generators' efficiency and not the power grid's.

But with a hybrid, you aren't entirely reliant on the government's generosity, so it's not breathlessly extolled at every opportunity about solar panels, windmills, and electric vehicles.
