This is true. But...
The way I see it, I could take along a genset and still get less emissions. How? If I have a pusher/generator trailer I never would have to stop and charge. I could go anywhere on 100% fossil fuel. But with a genset in the trunk I'd have to treat this car like what it is, an EV. After every 60 miles or so I'd have to pull over and charge somewhere. And if I have the choice between a free or cheap Level 2 charging station or a $20 propane exchange bottle on a 1500W suitcase generator or course I'm not going to bother pulling out and setting up the genset.
It would be only for emergencies. As the charging infrastructure grows, I may not even ends up using it. But there is that scenario that I get to a charging station 80 miles from the next, and it's out of order and I'll have to spend the next 21 hours with my little generator.
Maybe a 240V inverter propane genset?
