During the Texas Grid Failure people were using F-150 Hybrids to heat/power their homes.

Can we use their batteries to keep our fridge running?

Buttigieg, like everyone else in this administration is a simple minded fool.

So could a diesel 3/4 ton pickup, and it will run a lot longer, and haul more stuff..... so what is the advantage of an electric?

ESPECIALLY if the grid is down and it is not possible to recharge.

Brilliant, buttjuice. You can also save trees by using some of your body parts as toilet paper.

I'm all for EV’s, but this guys education is a F-150 commercial charging a home. What an idiot.

I’d be “for” (or rather, not against) electric vehicles if they weren’t being forced on us.

It’s like they are forced to keep pushing all of these Green new Deal ideas no matter how stupid, how useless, how unrealistic any of them are. I guess they don’t care how foolish they appear.

EMP would render every vehicle, even conventional useless.

“What the hell? This man graduated 5th grade?”

Even with today’s education standards, I think a 5th grader would be smarter than this clown.

It will but gas powered vehicles are easier to fix in this type of attack. The EV electric motor components will fuse.

Would not want to depend on an EV to evacuate. Who in their right mind would drive an EV with 20,000 miles on it through six inches of water? A few cracks in the battery casing and the occupants will become crispy critters.
