From Drude analysis of the ellipsometric spectra, we extract the complex dielectric function and key transport parameters of the IR free carriers. In contrast to the behavior typically observed in dc transport, the optically derived resistivity decreases with increasing temperature for both substrates. Despite comparable carrier densities, graphene on hBN exhibits systematically reduced scattering rates and a stronger temperature evolution of the IR Drude response compared with graphene on SiO\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:tex-math>\n                        \n                      <\/jats:tex-math>\n                      <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" overflow=\"scroll\">\n                        <mml:mrow>\n                          <mml:msub>\n                            <mml:mi\/>\n                            <mml:mn>2<\/mml:mn>\n                          <\/mml:msub>\n                        <\/mml:mrow>\n                      <\/mml:math>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    .
