I can’t believe they’re still peddling this failed policy. The Biden administration is once again touting electric cars. Though he used a terrible example, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had some chutzpah to drop his sales pitch on Fox News. The former South Bend mayor equated those who don’t want to be forced to buy these terrible cars to those who railed against the increased use of cellular phones.
🚨 Pete Buttigieg disparages Americans who don't want to be forced into electric vehicles:

Ok but you actually had reasons why cellphones were better than landlines. What’s your argument in favor of EVs other than “they’re newer”? https://t.co/9ltdQtZt91

As some on social media realized, there were reasons why mobile phones were better. That doesn’t exist for electric cars, which have bled car manufacturers. Ford lost tens of thousands per car. They need constant charging, and they’re worse for the environment. Also, where do these electric car people think the power that charges their vehicles’ batteries comes from? Fossil fuels.
Electric vehicles are the ones that need to be plugged into the wall with a cord. https://t.co/tglZ9NG5YU

This administration is clueless. If there were serious people here, the rising crime spurred by hordes of criminal illegal aliens would be the first domestic priority. Alas, Joe Biden is a Democrat, so nothing will happen. He also can't remember anything.
