Look nitpicker, the poster said “...at roughly 1 in 8,000 vehicles, are five times lower than those of an average gasoline car,”
It was simply a misprint. The poster meant to say that roughly 1 in 40,000 vehicles that have not yet been produced are five times lower than those of an average gasoline car.
I don't normally confuse myself, but when I do, I do a splendid job!

Yes you certainly do! I have no idea what that post is supposed to mean but if you don’t understand what I meant you can read my later post number 30. Simply put, five times less, five hundred percent less, five times lower etc. are mathematical ABSURDITY. Such expressions would have gotten me an F for the year in fifth grade. I don’t care that they are in common use now, they still make no sense.
