Astongate: fake emission figures, an embattled carmaker and a sock puppet PR company
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/astongate-fake-emission-figures-embattled-carmaker-sock-liebreich/You may have seen the news story last week about a new report purporting to show that it takes 50,000 miles before an EV's emissions beat those of a petrol car. First of all, the figures were comprehensively debunked - the correct figure is nearer 16,000 miles - then, over the weekend I uncovered evidence that the report was written by a sock-puppet PR company run from an address co-owned by Aston Martin's Director of Global Government and Corporate Affairs.
