Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Sunday rural and suburban voters should buy electric cars because they burn the most gasoline.
“The people who stand to benefit most from owning an EV are often rural residents, who have the longest distances to drive, they often burn the most gas,” Buttigieg said in an interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart.
He also argued low-income suburban drivers would benefit from electric vehicles because gas near urban areas was more expensive.
“They would gain the most from having that vehicle, but these are the very residents who have not always been connected to electric vehicles that are viewed as kind of a luxury item,” Buttigieg said.
He promoted Biden’s Build Back Better social entitlement bill for restoring a tax credit of up to $12,500 for union-made electric vehicles, noting “families who once they own that vehicle will never have to worry about gas prices again.”

I see a few around the burbs in my area and one on the interstate every so often.
In my heart of hearts I would like the electric car to be practical but there are too many hurdles out there.
A Christmas or perhaps holiday gift to the typical liberal.
One less pesky old person around and a guaranteed dim voter.
Good grief he’s dumber than I thought.
Drivers can’t wait to stop for 45 minute recharges on a typical 500 mile itinerary in flyover country! Right, Pete?
The recharging station is in the garage, whether rural, suburban, or urban.
I live in The Boonies, and within a few miles of a bank of Tesla chargers, next to which is one or more competing charging network chargers.
But Buttplug *is* an idiot, as well as a degenerate.
That discount for Union vehicles is totally DISCRIMINATION
He’s had too many things up his ass . . . Totally out of it
Most folks have no knowledge or background with the Law of Conservation/1st Law of Thermodynamics.

But, but, but they didn’t teach that in my CRT advanced studies class. More important to know the LGBTQ alphabet and to know what is meant by being “non-binary”. Those “Laws” you cite should be cancelled because they sound racist.
I have a 10-kW solar system on my house. It's working for me as far as lowering my utility costs enough to eventually pay for itself in 13 years (assuming 3% inflation on the kWh rate I avoid). In my all-electric, two-story house it provides over half the power. This gives me a little wiggle room if the Dims keep making energy costs skyrocket (which would make my solar system pay for itself sooner). And by paying for most of it with a 1.9% interest rate loan, my budget hasn't seen a large up-front cost for going solar. My savings on my power bill almost pays for the loan minimum payment. As the loan is paid off, which makes my minimum payment go down, and rates go up, which means I save more by avoiding having to buy that portion of electricity, probably next year I'll average saving more than I pay on the loan (i.e. save more in the summer months than it costs me in the winter when I don't save as much as the loan payment). Then after that it'll save me more, then more the next year, then the next, etc.
I was looking into buying a F-150 Lightning. I even paid for the $100 reservation. But now that they're raising the costs (probably in anticipation of the dump extra $5K Biden Bashing America bill) by saying they won't offer the 300-mile range battery on the Pro trim for $10K more (they're now saying you have to pay extra and get at least the XLT trim to have the option to pay $10K more on top of that to get the extended range battery). That's starting to get a bit out of range to be worth it to get roughly 1.8 miles per kWh, as opposed to getting 15 mpg in my old used truck (the kind of truck I've driven for many years because I hate car payments). I'll see when the time comes if I'll get one. But the price has to be right.
Come 2030 when the president's mandate that half the vehicles made in the US have to be electric, dealerships will have lots filled with the EV's nobody wants and the shortage of gas vehicles will cause the prices to skyrocket.......
GASLIGHTING BUTTGIG
I wonder how apartment dwellers are going to charge their vehicles........
I didn’t know he was a member of the Film Actors Guild.😁
As stupid as a person who allows the naturally developed anal sphincter that functions to prevent the release of digested food in its final waste matter until the appropriate time and location. This being the function in wild animals as well as humans of any level of development.
Except babies and young children who develop a fascination with the area which knowledgeable parents train the child not to do and to potty train them for reasons of cleanliness at the minimum.
The mentation (if one can call it that) to allow objects or other peoples parts to be inserted in the anal sphincter begins with lack of impulse control, caused by the stimulation of the terminus of the vagal nerve in the voluntary/involuntary nerves in the lower intestine. For which this organ/muscle is NOT designed. Hence, contrary to Nature. Once one has made the conscious decision to allow it— the rest is all rationalization and falsehood to one’s self. This is the science to this, nevermind the thousands of years of societal recognition of an illness.
Says the incompetent fag full of gas 🤪
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is nothing bit an Electric Car Salesman and not to trusted
Bingo....problem you’ll have, some liberal hipster in their EV will throw a temper tantrum if they catch on to what you’re doing.
However.....if you had a van or some way to keep prying eyes from seeing what you were doing, put a big sign on it saying that you converted it to electric even if you didn’t, and installed a charging port that fed all the batteries stored in the van/truck, you’d be golden, I’m thinking.
Why? What good would that do? Nothing. No, what they need is to be forced to live like normal hardworking people do to survive. Get a real taste of life off of the government teat.
