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.
