Joe Biden Addresses High Gas Prices: Americans Can Save Money if They Buy Electric Cars
Breitbart ^ | 11/23/2021 | CHARLIE SPIERING

President Joe Biden promoted his efforts to lower gas prices on Tuesday, but he reminded Americans they would save more money on gas if they owned electric cars.

“For the hundreds of thousands of folks who bought one of those electric cars, they’re going to save $800 to $1000 in fuel costs this year,” Biden said, referring to the $112,595 electric Hummer pickup he test drove at a General Motors factory in Detroit earlier this month.

How long would it take to amortize the price of an electric car vs gas prices?

I drive a 2020 RAM 1500. Joe, find me a truck as good as this one that can tow like this one does, for the money I spent on it and I’ll get your electric truck. I won’t be holding my breath while I wait...

So I use a pick up for side work, how much is an equivalent 1500 series electric truck compared to a gas model?

My USED truck cost me about 26.5K almost 3 years ago, so can I get a new or used electric truck for that?

The cheapest Tesla costs $45K. Remember that the next time a Democrat claims that they’re “for the little guy.”

Stupid is as Biden does, to misquote Forrest Gump.

And the battery doesn’t last forever. Then ya gotta buy a new one, have the old one removed and the new one installed...I doubt it’s an inexpensive job.

Electric cars still cost 15 to 20,000 more than a similar ice car. So you make your money back in only 15 years.

Here's the deal, pickup truck owners. It's simple, you pay $90,000 for this here F-150 Lightning to save $1,000 a year. It's common sense!

“They’re not putting sh!t back. It will have to be taken from them, and not enough citizens are willing to make the sacrifice. Most conservatives are quite content to have sizable investment accounts. Fat and happy generally leads to loss of freedoms that are no longer fought to retain.”

Wow, reads like a copy and paste right out of the Liberal Forum Political Chat Room.

If you want to make people convert to electric cars, the way to do it is to make gas unaffordable.
