It is very easy to take in extra electrolytes without calories by using products like Endurolytes, Elete Water, SportLegs, etc. These come in power, pills, liquid.
Some people may need extra electrolytes even for just an hour ride in very hot weather. Since your stomach can only absorb a limited number of calories per hour, these products are a great method to bump up your electrolyte intake without unnecessary additional calories.
Each of these products has a different balance of each type of electrolyte. My husband noticeably feels better when using Elete due to the higher magnesium levels.
