It is not about how much it can store. You cannot wish away the charging losses. There are no losses to pumping gas into a tank. Nor can you wish away the losses in the charger itself. Converting AC to DC is hardly 100% efficient.

In that case, you should also not wish away refining losses, where petroleum is turned into gasoline and other fuels.

If you want to get an accurate accounting of CO2 emissions, sure.
