I really hope it's true. This past weekend I went on a run to the top of a hill on the edge of LA county. At the peak of a trail they had a display board with a panorama of all the surrounding mountains and peaks, labelling each of them. You couldn't actually see any of them through the smog, though. Imagine how much improved the smog situation would be if a majority of the commuting vehicles were zero-emission.
I think it depends on where they are getting the electricity from. If solar and wind keep rising, I can imagine that the turnover could accelerate a net-decrease in emissions. No doubt, if every home that had an EV had a solar roof, it would be a very good thing.
