I went in fairly skeptical of the claims, but damn. The marketing examples given (and there are very many) absolutely seem to be extremely intentionally misleading. HEV, PHEV that stuff isn't the issue. But the advertisement where they have their whole fleet of vehicles sitting next to EV charging stations, despite only 3 of them having plugs? And "Electrified , Diversified"? Yeah that's total fucking bullshit.
Good on someone taking them to task.
