What part of it is a lie? It's only a lie if you have been indoctrinated by EPA because of hegemonial car politics in the US favouring gas.
Diesel still is more efficient than electro taking the whole supply chain into account. The lack of efficiency of e-vehicles is only justified if you have a "I do not care about efficiency" power source = the sun. And even in that case its questionable if the required ressources to produce, distribute and refurbish batteries will ever outcompete the production ressource requirements of carbon fuel.
Not to speak about that you can pour every diesel in every car, this is not true for car batteries.
