To be fair, the gasoline car also wouldn’t be able to fuel up during a power outage…

A hand pump would be a relatively simple retrofit if it society came to endure brown outs.

If you can pump gas you can run a generator, which means you can turn gasoline into electricity. That means you can "fill" your "green" car during a power outage.

Many consumer generators can also run on propane or natural gas, which means you have two other fuel sources in a power outage.

If you have solar panels on your home you can "fill" your "green" car during a power outage.

If you have a home backup battery you can "fill" your "green" car during a power outage.

There are zero scenarios where a car that can be fueled by multiple fuels is less flexible than a car that can only be fueled by one.

you still need all that additional hardware for something that shouldnt be a problem to begin with.

But that just sounds like a gas-powered car with extra steps…
