The EXEMPT should just Order their slaves,
the Americans, to buy them.
Of course, the EXEMPT and Moslems will remain EXEMPT
to this, too.

So each electric car on the road was gifted around $65,000. Nice

Obama hired the CEO of GE as one of his czars.
IIRC, we had a fire at one of the stations here in upstate NY.

I’ve yet to find an electric vehicle to do what I’d want...a vehicle that will tow and carry 7 passengers and tow....for the price of a Explorer.

Those underpowered Obama-Cars are a hazard on the highways.
They should be restricted to local streets where the speed limit is 30 MPH or less.

Funny, I’m not seeing $60,000 of that. Wonder where that went.

How many of those 826,000 electric cars were bought by Obama?
I know there are two electric ObamaCars in our small town that were purchased by the city fathers because Obama gave them a big subsidy.

“Add it up, and there are a grand total of less than 180,000 plug-ins on U.S. roads today. Worldwide, there are only 400,000.
It’s true that Tesla has been something of a hit, at least among the richest of the rich. But even Tesla is having trouble getting its more modestly priced Model X crossover into production.
And so, after shoveling $8 billion in taxpayer money into electric cars, Obama quietly ended up ditching his 1 million goal late last year.”
That figures out that the commie puke spent $44,000 taxpayer dollars for each exploding golf cart his liberal moron supporters drive.

I’m sure he’ll take his little pen out and use the taxpayers money to buy those 826,000 “for the government”.

Under powered? My Leaf will hit 90 faster than almost anything on the road.

My Leaf will hit 90 faster than almost anything on the road. Then that one would just be an Obama Car, not an underpowered Obama car.

You would think various media outlets would cringe the next time an 0bama “promise” is made.
The man has lied, with the blessing of big media, on just about everything since he has been president.
It’s no longer news when the media discovers the presidential lie.

Your leaf would have cost $120 to 130 thousand without government subsidies.

Yes, you're underpowered. Acceleration doesn't equal power. You're doing little work, quickly. But your car likely isn't even capable of doing lots of work, slowly or at all.
What your light, quick car lacks is torque, which essentially translates into cargo capacity. Sure, it's great if all you do is drive to Starbucks and work and back home in the city, but anything more than that and you need something with more power.
