Yeah I am assuming it is true based off other reasings. Didn't really read the data behind this article though. From past references larger battery EVs take about 16 months of break-in before it's carbon neutral for manufacturing / emissions costs from an ICE vehicle. At that point even the heavy fossil fuel reliant electrical grids for charging is more energy / carbon neutral than the cost to refine / deliver / use gasoline for ice vehicles.
