Is the headline really substantiated in the article? The key part is: > A series of studies by Tsinghua University, whose alumni includes the incumbent president, showed electric vehicles charged in China produce two to five times as much particulate matter and chemicals that contribute to smog versus gas-engine cars. Hybrid vehicles fare little better. Producing particulate matter 50 miles away from a city is not remotely the same as producing it 2ft from a pavement. I'm not sure about smog, though, is the effect regional or local?
