From their site it's hard to tell where there funding comes from, they do list their funding as 27% from businesses and 70% from "foundations". One of their Directors bios shows he has direct ties to big oil. Even more, I found they published yet another article against EVs:
Consumers will pay the price for electric vehicle quotas: "Montreal, July 25, 2017 – The electric car sales quotas imposed on manufacturers by the Quebec government will eventually increase the marginal cost of conventional vehicles by $1,100, reveals a Viewpoint published today by the MEI. Consumers will end up paying this “tax” through higher car prices." http://www.iedm.org/72410-consumers-will-pay-price-electric-vehicle-quotas Sounds like the province of Quebec is enforcing minimum EV sales on manufacturers, similar to California. They predict this will only cause oil powered vehicle's prices to increase. I take it the end result they predict isn't true for California?
