Michigan AG Dana Nessel filed a federal antitrust lawsuit accusing major oil companies - BP, Chevron, Exxon, Shell and the American Petroleum Institute - of acting like a 'cartel' to suppress EV and renewable energy innovation. The suit claims they colluded to restrict competition, keep energy prices high, and limit EV options for consumers. The state seeks damages and injunctive relief.
