You know the vested oil interests are scared when they established a lobbying group called Fueling U.S. Forward and planned to spend $10,000,000 a year to spread mis-information about the electric cars. That’s exactly what happened in August of 2016. (Huffington Post: “The Kochs Are Plotting A Multimillion-Dollar Assault On Electric Vehicles”)
Looks like they gave up in October of 2017 (Desmog Blog: “Koch-Funded Fueling US Forward Shuts Down, But Koch Attacks On Clean Energy Continue”), or more likely just decided to take their message more indirect.
They did do a lot of damage in its short life however, in the form of two videos, “The Dirty Secrets of Electric Cars” and “The Hidden Costs of Electric Cars,” both of which put forth arguments that were widely and easily debunked by science and data, yet are still cited by anti-EV people.
