More like, "if BMW wants to distract regulators with a green transport pipe dream, more power to them."
A combustion engine throws away >70% of that costly green energy, whereas EVs are 90+% efficient. The more panels/turbines/batteries you need to do the same job, the more pollution is emitted in the manufacturing step.
We need solutions that reduce the huge amount of green energy supply needed to go 100% carbon-free, not self-futile solutions that push the finish line further away.
