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

Is it true that hybrid cars emit smog-forming nitrogen oxides, though less than petrol-only cars?

Unclear. The retrieved sources partially support the claim: fuel-burning cars emit smog-forming nitrogen oxides, and hybrid vehicles still emit harmful pollutants while reducing emissions, with some hybrids meeting the lowest smog-forming emission levels. However, none of the items directly quantifies or compares hybrid nitrogen oxide emissions against petrol-only cars.
