Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow said that gas prices 'don't matter' personally to her because she has an electric vehicle as she urged the country to move toward this mode of transportation to decrease reliability on greedy oil companies.
'On the issue of gas prices – after waiting for a long time to have enough chips in this country to finally get my electric vehicle – I got it and drove it from Michigan to here this last weekend and went by every gas station and it didn't matter how high it was,' the Michigan senator said during a hearing on water shortages in the Western U.S.
She added: 'I'm looking forward to the opportunity for us to move to vehicles that aren't going to be dependent on the whims of the oil companies and the international markets.'
United States senators make an annual salary of $174,000.
The average cost of an electric vehicle, according to Kelley Blue Book, is $56,437, which is approximately $10,000 higher than the industry average including cars that are electric and gas.
Michigan's average household income is $59,234 between 2016-2020 – just a few thousand over the typical cost of an EV, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Well isn’t she cute.
Can’t Understand Normal Thinking. Let them eat cake
Let her eat cake.
Uh, ms. Stab-me-now?? You DO realize most electricity is just less efficient hydrocarbons and the cost is gonna fall through, right?? Right?
Give the bitch a pay decrease. Send her to the unemployment line.
Costanza = Can’t Stand Ya
Stabenow = Stab Me Now
Completely oblivious as to where the other end of that charge cord is plugged in to.
Libs are soooo smart
Paid for by campaign donations.
And the Republicans will be all over this, attack ads all over the place, and... Yeah, well, I can dream.
And electricity and beer is free! Next week!
She didn’t drive it all the way from Michigan to DC without recharging.
A congress-thing’s mind is a poisonous stew of ignorance, arrogance, stupidity, and self-importance.
Well, Debbie Stabnow. You’re about to get a lesson in how the energy market is interconnected. Wait till you see your electric bill in a few months time cause natural gas is going up and that is our backup fuel for all those solar panels and windmills. Ordinarily that is a heating and cooking fuel... not anymore.
” that aren’t going to be dependent on the whims of the oil companies and the international markets.’
She can afford an electric vehicle BECAUSE we pay for it SPIT!!!
Musta had a lot of time on her hands given the limited range of batteries. More time spent recharging than traveling?
You will own nothing and love it!
No cars, no jobs, no homes but all the bugs you can eat.
Yes, because the food you eat and goods you use aren’t shipped via Boat, Rail or Truck.... nope, they just magically get their in chevy volts....
Idiot.
get there...
