$80!! Throw in the six cent savings last July 4 and what we spent on Thanksgiving dinner, that’s some real walkin’ around money!

Biden says Americans will save $80 a month if they buy an electric car as he unveils plan to

How in the hell do you save $80 a month if ya have to buy a car costing tens of thousands?

Is the $80 saving before or after the $600 car payment, increased electric bill and cab fares when the battery runs down. Oh, I’m sure there are other charges I haven’t mentioned.

There aren’t enough electric cars. Car lots are empty.

Here in the Phoenix metro, there’re many who live in apartments. Most, if not all are not equipped with charging stations. You might get some in the wealthy parts of town, but not likely anywhere else. How does this braying jackass expect those who I’ve in apartments to give up their evil gas powered vehicle for a supposedly zero emissions electric one and no way to charge it?

He has no idea what it means to have to compete in the job market, work, earn money, pay most of it in taxes, pay for a house or apartment, try to save money and pay one’s expenses.

He has lived off his government job and has no idea what it’s like.

How will I save $80 a month by spending tens of thousands of dollars on an electric car?

Right now, I don’t even spend $80 per month on insurance and gas combined, and indeed, my insurance alone will likely increase by $80 per month if I buy a new car!

If they are so great, then why isn’t full of crap Biden riding around in an electric car?

I can’t wait to get my $50,000 EV and park it in my driveway all night because it might burn my house down if it catches fire while being charged. I’m sure when it snows, we have a bad thunderstorm, or thieves wander by everything will be OK too.

“Does anyone have one of these electric cars? Does it really save you that much money considering your electricity goes up (not to mention people cant afford the cars)”

Yes it does. Actually it saves more than $80 per month. The problem is that most people couldn’t buy an electric vehicle even if they could afford it right now unless they are willing to pay a $5000-10000 markup. The other problem is that once everyone is driving electric vehicles what do you think will happen to the cost of electricity?

What and who in Congress has said anything about this? What they’ll do to change it?

Save $80/mo...Hmmm

I’d like to know:

1. How long does it take to recharge typical EV?

2. Miles per charge?

3. The cost of purchasing and installing an at-home charging station...I really don’t want to go hang out in some charge station area for however long to recharge!

4. How long do the batteries last and cost of replacement?

As an aside, I had a Honda Civic Hybrid when gas prices spiked before, and it handled horribly on snowy roads.

Does anyone have one of these electric cars?

Yes, I bought one, but mostly because it's a great car with fantastic acceleration/performance and nice amenities. It was a splurge for me, and definitely not done for the gas savings. It will take a long time to break even on that basis.

Nissan Leaf $27,400 / $80 = 342.5 months or 28.5 years. How long is the battery supposed to last?

In Bidens world everyone can afford an electric car and the electricity to charge it is FREE!!

In the real world, most people don’t have $1,000 for an emergency, and cant even pay their utility bills now because of HIM!
