Big oil & gas spend millions annually lobbying against electrification and supporting anti-EV lawmakers. Now, EV Battery PAC is trying to level the playing field.
EV Battery PAC was started to address the widening gap between the EV industry’s nascent political activity and that of their antagonists - primarily incumbent oil & gas producers and refiners, and the proxy groups they fund to keep the world locked in a carbon-intensive transportation sector. Not only do these individual companies spend $5-8 million a year directly lobbying Congress, they each have PACs that send millions directly to the campaigns of EV critics in Congress.
In the 2020 election cycle, they gave away $65 million to conservative lawmakers eager to stymie the transition to electrification. Already in this election cycle, the oil & gas industry has sent $30 million to conservative groups with the charter of criticizing EVs.
EV Battery PAC is the only federal PAC dedicated to hastening the transition to a zero emission transportation sector and is now working to organize grassroots support, individual donors and institutional resources to fund candidates and advocacy to drive electrification.
