It's great that they're getting reductions of this magnitude for watercraft, this should absolutely continue.

But it is damning for electric cars. The tailpipe emissions (measured in this article) that are reduced by going electric are marginal in comparison, and the other emissions are still entirely present.

It doesn't seem damning, electric cars are a not a silver bullet. This seems like an additional problem to tackle concurrently.

If we came up with a new "Environmentally Friendly" tyre that solved that problem, than we would still have exhaust emissions to deal with. You don't need to fix both to attempt to improve one.
