This was presented as an "independent" study but...Am I missing the point?
from what I’ve heard the report is full of bobbins claims, cherry picked and misrepresented from other reports. That I get, and that’s bad.
I’m not sure though why the PR agency and their connection to AM is relevant? Lots of manufacturers and firms claimed to be involved in the report, Honda, McLaren, Bosch etc, but also AM. So why does it matter that the PR agency was related to AM? It’s not like they were hiding.
perhaps this is a level of subtly I’ve not reached
I'm glad this made the press too, was assuming it would just get ignored!
The PR company removed the "Clients" page from their website, which amused me.
It is a bit silly that this was pitched as an independant study, backed by a consortium of companies that might as well be standard bearers for anti-EV thinking.
