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.
The difference is that if you have any of those things you can still drive when SHTF if you have an electric car. You still can't drive your gas car even if you have those things.
But that just sounds like a gas-powered car with extra steps…
Except a gas-powered car can only use gas (maybe ethanol if you have the ability to replace some parts). There's no other way to fuel it, not even with extra steps. That's what makes an electric car more flexible.
When SHTF you will have the choice to use the extra steps and keep on driving with an electric car. You will not have those options with a gas car.
