Submission Statement: 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.
I don’t get how Reddit hates Taylor Swift and loves Toyota.
If promoting CO2 release is wrong Toyota would qualify as objectively evil.
Round up the boards and the managers, put them on trial for crimes against humanity.
I’m bought an EV in 2022 and am shopping for a fleet of EVs for a company. Speaking to dealerships, Nissan only wants to talk about ICE – same thing happened when I bought my own vehicle, even after I told them repeatedly that ICE was off the table. Chevy is happy to sell bolts. KIA was pretty good too – only had to be told twice.
I know this is at a local dealership level but there definitely seems to be something up with Nissan.
There doesn’t appear to be any mention of solid-state battery investments in the report. A lot of the big automakers have timelines more toward 2030 for EVs with that production in mind. Their investments could probably be larger though.
