Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that electric cars produce zero tailpipe emissions?

Yes. A UK government air-quality advisory states that battery electric vehicles are zero emission in terms of exhaust (tailpipe) emissions, though it notes they still produce non-exhaust particulate emissions. A book on BEVs likewise contrasts zero tailpipe emissions with lifetime emissions.
