A Koch front group is putting out misleading attack ads on electric vehicles

"Transportation recently overtook the electricity sector as the biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. Not satisfied with that dubious achievement, a front group backed by petrochemical billionaires Charles and David Koch has launched a series of videos attacking electric vehicles. Fueling U.S. Forward put out a heart-wrenching video about how batteries use cobalt mined by children and another one claiming that taxpayers are subsidizing rich white men to buy Teslas; it’s a false dichotomy to suggest that because of child labor, we shouldn’t use electric cars. Children aren’t being put to work because of electric vehicles. but because of a global economic system that exploits the poor and the vulnerable. Our collective use of fossil fuels is killing children and adults — while simultaneously driving us into an unlivable climate."
