"A damning new report has shown that nearly all major car companies are
actively sabotaging the world’s efforts to avoid catastrophic global warming.
The lobbying strategies being used by the world’s largest automakers are
putting global climate targets at risk and threatening the electric vehicle
transition, according to the new report released by InfluenceMap.
Titled Automakers and Climate Policy Advocacy, the report provides analysis on
the anti-EV lobbying activities of 15 of the world’s largest automakers in
seven key regions around the world. The study uses industry-standard data from
S&P Global Mobility on automakers’ forecast electric vehicle production.
In addition to scoring automakers on their climate policy sabotage,
InfluenceMap also found the industry’s own EV production forecasts fail to meet
the IEA’s (International Energy Agency) updated 1.5°C scenario of 66% EV market
share by 2030.
The report says Japanese automakers are the least prepared for the EV
transition and have the most active, strategic engagement against it.
This latest global report follows another damning report in 2023 by
InfluenceMap which through FOI requests revealed the behind-the-scenes lobbying
efforts of the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) to water down
and delay pro-EV policies in Australia."
