> If in the past years manufacturers had to cheat on emissions in order to present improvements to performance numbers The cheating is rather insignificant when compared to the actual decline in emissions over couple past decades.

Many of those things, such as the material technology, probably benefit also electric vehicles. Tesla as we know it wouldn't be possible without the pile of innovations done with combustion engine cars.
