The journalist has to have a personal grudge against him. That d'oh quotation makes him seem dumber than my dog.
And it's not even necessarily true: it takes a certain mileage to offset the extra CO2 that an electric vehicle requires for its manufacturing (mostly batteries), which directly depends on the grid's carbon intensity. If you recharge your EV from a coal or oil plant, you are still burning coal and oil.
