Granholm, in a clip surfaced Tuesday, made the case for going electric amid sky high gas prices 'If you filled up your EV [electric vehicle] and you filled up your gas tank with gasoline, you would save $60 per fill-up,' she said Granholm made similar points in a White House press briefing in May 2021. ‘If you drive an electric car, this would not be affecting you,’ she said then Granholm, who is worth $8million according to Forbes Last month she also exercised stock options in Proterra, an electric vehicle company where she served as a director She ended up pocketing $1.6million on the transaction, according to an energy department spokesperson

Or people who live in apartments or condos? Where are they going to jack in?
But the same environmentalists that don’t like oil don’t like us mining for lithium to put in the batteries of the fancy electric cars.
They think the world is like Star Trek, where things just propel magically.

It makes all the difference in the world.
If you can’t afford $5.00 a gallon gas you sure as hell aren’t going to be able to afford a $60,000 dollar E.V.
You CANNOT fix retarded!
I look forward to Winnebago producing an all electric recreational rig. At least owners will have a place to sleep for hours while it is being charged every 200 miles on their way to the national park. Should only take them 6 months to travel the 2000 miles
Or young employees working at McDonalds or hospitality industry, or people on Social Security, where are they going to get $50,000 to purchase a Tesla?
EV is a solution for a problem we don’t have, we do have a problem with the Crazy Left
No worries. AOC says just get yourself one of these. Make sure it’s a big one, rated for tractors.
1. How much is the cheapest electric car?
2. How many miles before I have to recharge and how commonplace are the charging stations?
3. How long does it take to recharge?
Why doesn’t she tell everyone outright and why don’t the reporters ask her these questions?
Electric buses. What could go wrong?
electric bus fire
So when is this Rich B!tch going to buy us all a new EV?? Needs to put her money where mouth is. FJB and his entire administration of MORONS.
Power was “shut off” for 5 hours last night to PROTECT THE GRID. Where do I plug in during FORCED outage?
There is NO SUCH THING as CLEAN ENERGY!
(Wwll, at least till the fictional holy grail of fusion power comes around)
Something, somewhere is being dug up, processed or carbonized.
AOC invented a New Perpetual Motion Machine to power the world , Her Mouth
Spock disagrees...
Oh yeah, as a follow-up, can someone ask her what energy sources are used to power up the electric grid used to charge her EVs?
What are the downsides to electric cars?
Their batteries need rare metals. ...
Making electric cars creates more emissions. ...
They are only as green as their power sources. ...
Electric cars can be expensive to buy. ...
You can’t drive as far in an electric car. ...
There aren’t enough charging points.
The main disadvantages of having an electric car include:
Higher upfront costs
Range limitations.
Time to recharge battery.
Lack of charging stations and infrastructure.
Lack of car models available.
Resale value.
Straight up lie.
A "fill up" of gas lasts much longer than the analogue to the EV. EVs "fill up" nightly or daily at a varying cost of around $5 per fill up added to your electricity bill.
So the costs of "fill ups" are comparable and Granholm is lying here.
This nothwithstanding:
the cost of an EV keeps most out of the market
the cost of electricity is comparable to the cost of gas
EVs are far worse for the environment than gas b/c the majority of electricity comes from coal, the mining done to gather the minerals for the battery is horrific, the disposal of deadly poison batteries is impossible - they're just piling up.
Please restore sanity to our world and our once prosperous nation! MAGA
