Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stressed in a new interview that families who buy electric vehicles (EVs) "never have to worry about gas prices again."
While speaking on MSNBC's "The Sunday Show With Jonathan Capehart," Buttigieg noted that Democrats' proposed social spending package includes incentives to make it more affordable to buy an electric vehicle.
Buttigieg said that families would essentially have a "$12,500 discount" in transportation costs, adding that "families who own that vehicle will never have to worry about gas prices again."
"The people who stand to benefit most from owning an EV are often rural residents who have the most distances to drive, who burn the most gas, and underserved urban residents in areas where there are higher gas prices and lower income," Buttigieg said.
"They would gain the most by having that vehicle. These are the very residents who have not always been connected to electric vehicles that are viewed as kind of a luxury item," he added.
"If we can make the electric vehicle less expensive for everybody, more people can take advantage, and we'll be selling more American-made EVs, which means in time they'll become less expensive to make and to buy for everybody," Buttigieg said.
Buttigieg's comments come after the Department of Energy announced last week that it would release 50 million barrels of oil from the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve in an effort to control rising gas prices.

Heshe’s brain is a no-brainer!
You have to post the pics of African boys too. Digging up the materials with no safety or respiratory gear. Just so elitist Fs can have their toys
BS. Show me a family that only owns EVs.
And, the price of oil affects the price of parts, and EVs use a lot of parts made from oil.
Men who aren’t attracted to other men’s asses don’t have to worry about HIV.
The Hill = deep state gaslighting.
People with ICE vehicles never have, and never had to worry about electricity prices - nor whether the power could be kept on.
California, in particular, both seeks an EV mandate - but also has a poor record of keeping the lights on.
I got into an online dispute with a Gen Z’er who assures me that government services are “rights” because he gets them whether he ever pays taxes or not. Extremely self-assured and insulting in his arguments. If he is typical, the Communists are going to have a very easy time taking over.
Lithium is used to treat mental disorders so perhaps that explains their attraction to it.
The term “African boys” immediately gets Pete’s attention!
Gold mine.
So... it is possible that there are people this stupid. Wow.
“utter moron” doesn’t begin to describe him. He is living proof of the Peter Principle. Except he should have petered out before he became mayor of that podunk midwestern town.
He’s a good little apparatchik who is just making shit up.
Biden voters: they live amongst us.
“That would be thermodynamics..”
What about thermodynamics?
When the electricity goes off, you can go out and stay warm in your gas powered car.
Charging times may vary due to several factors. What is your power source? How much power can your electric car handle? How can drivers charge their vehicles and get back on the road more quickly? Depending on an electric vehicle power source and battery capacity, drivers can charge their cars in as little as 30 minutes.
Unfortunately, that isn’t the standard. Most drivers will need about a couple of days (roughly 40 hours) to charge a fully depleted electric car battery if they use the standard three-prong plugs found in mobile devices, laptops, and the walls of most homes.
So every time Biden makes it harder to get natural gas from the ground it makes your electricity rates go up.
I live in a very rural area and I resent anybody from a town of more than 1000 people telling me how to live.
Dude doesn’t even know that most oil isn’t even used to make gas... It is used to make millions of things everyone needs and uses...
