Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, BMW: Only three automakers aligned with 1.5ºC EV production needs
"Automakers' substandard electric vehicle plans, and negative advocacy strategies are driving the climate crisis."
Only three of the world’s 15 largest automakers – Tesla, Mercedes-Benz and BMW – are forecast to produce more than 66% electric vehicles by 2030, the threshold required to meet the International Energy Agency’s 1.5ºC scenario.
This is according to a new InfluenceMap report exposing the contractions between car manufacturers’s sustainability communications and their lobbying activities. Despite actively promoting their electrification work, the majority of them are lobbying against stricter climate policies that would promote the production of electric vehicles (EVs).
