Tone down the hyperbole a bit there. With gasoline, the use of stored energy requires emissions. With batteries, the production of stored energy required emissions. True, the analogy isn't perfect, because maybe the batteries were charged from a PV system (though in practice chances are they were not) but to call it "incredibly dishonest" and "blatantly false" seems a bit excessive, don't you think? The point is, while using power from a battery doesn't cause any emissions, you need to know where the energy came from to make any meaningful comparisons.
