Actually, from a purely EV perspective, it is quite correct: EVs don't have tailpipes! :-) josh continues: > >Sorry to shout, but where does this misinformation come from?

So you see, the portion you object to is from the AAM - an auto-industry mouthpiece. In other words, yes, this information comes to you directly from the auto-makers' PR departments. The author probably did not have a direct quote as dense as the sentence he wanted to put in the piece, so he could not in good conscience enclose the second paragraph in quotation marks. Nevertheless, the source is clearly indicated. -- -Adam Kuehn
