The Biden administration was roasted this week after it unveiled an initiative offering Americans the chance to win thousands of dollars for submitting a video showcasing their electric vehicle (EV).
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - which has pursued a regulatory regime that experts say will force more EV purchases in the coming years - announced the so-called "EV Video Challenge" on Tuesday, offering a total of $13,500 to Americans. Almost immediately after the announcement, the agency was hit with criticism and accused of hypocrisy.
"How is the Biden Administration's push to mandate Progressive Lifestyle Choices working out?" the Alliance For Consumers, said in an X post. "The EPA is now *paying people* (with taxpayer dollars) for positive stories about EVs actually working ... Yes, you read that correctly."
"Check it out! The EPA is giving away YOUR money to wealthy EV owners; take a picture of your overpriced government-subsidized EV," added Jason Isaac, the founder and CEO of the American Energy Institute. "I'm guessing bonus points if it's at a government-subsidized charging station on a non-racist road in an #EnvironmentalJustice community. #ClimateActionNow."
According to the EPA, the video challenge will be divided into three categories - personal mobility, electric vehicle and electric bus - and each category will have three winners, meaning a total of nine winners will be selected.

"Electric vehicles with quiet motors and quick acceleration can be fun to drive or ride in, but like any new technology, they can take some getting used to at first," the EPA said.

Liberals have the mindset of 5 year olds. What’s next? Caller Number 9?
Dialing for Suckers…
This opens them up to videos of EV fires, strandings, failure to start in the cold....

I’ll send the vid to the White House.
Lol.
I think there should be a program for submitting a video showcasing their electric vehicle on fire.
The uniparty at work spending your tax dollars. But hey, as a nation we’re going to collapse before the end of the decade anyway when we reach the $40,000,000,000,000 mark as we’re now at the point where a $TRILLION a year is spent on just the interest.
Sad when the price of gas is such a small thing it doesn’t even matter.
“Liberals have the mindset of 5 year olds.”
They treat their voters like 5 yr olds.
Yep - broke Americans are going to spend $60k+ play a game to win pennies.
And F that red headed bitch who snidely bragged that the Biden admin made a July 4th picnic was cheaper because beans were $.05 less than the year before - ignoring that gas was higher, utilities were. higher and interest rates were soaring.
They think we are stupid and are ripe for they picking.
They do hate us.
I’m going to guess Biden isn’t using his own money to give out the prices.

I still have a bunch left- i often post them in the grocery store next to $5 loaf bread. BTW- the twitter thread with the responses is hysterical
EV fires that are nearly impossible to put out:
I’d be happy if gas were that cheap in California - average is now $5.14.
has anyone asked how apartment dwellers would be able to use battery cars?
Why is the gubmint subsidizing America’s Funniest Home Video’s?

The fools that buy electric vehicles and stoves think they are saving the planet that’s like believing buying an ant farm will sane the wild life.
