Oh yeah. More diesel generators in rural areas, because the local power supplies can't keep up with multiple fast charging stations.
Edit : turns out that the container appearing at super charging station are not generators, it's a hoax. But no one could tell me their exact purpose.
Even a diesel generator charging an EV is less pollutant than an ICE car.
It is basically the concept of a hybrid.
Combustion engines need to rotate at a specific rpm to be efficient. That is why ICE cars have gearboxes, because otherwise they would be even less energy efficient.
