Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg took high gas prices and proclaimed the “pain” we’re experiencing as an advantage for those who own electric vehicles.
“The more pain we are all experiencing from the high price of gas, the more benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicles.”
Secretary Buttigieg often uses electric vehicles as the go-to solution for high gas prices. He said in a recent interview, “We’re for cutting the cost of electric vehicles because when you have an electric vehicle then you will also be able to save on gas…”
Some Twitter users attacked Buttigieg’s ability to be transportation secretary:
Is it possible to find a few smart people who don’t speak ‘Word-Salad’ and understand infrastructure, the economy, inflation and supply chain issues that are crushing the US economy?

Other users explained to Sec. Buttigieg that they cannot afford an electric vehicle:
Can’t afford them. Not enough charging stations. And the grid couldn’t handle a mass number of new electric cars all pulling power either. They already have power issues out west with brownouts and rolling backouts. This is a prime example of deflecting with an unreal solution.

Electric vehicles come in five primary categories: cars, luxury cars, SUVs, luxury SUVs and pickup trucks. Prices on electric vehicles range from $27,400 for a Nissan Leaf to a whopping $2,400,000 for a 2022 Rimac Nevera. The Tesla Model 3 was the most popular electric vehicle sold in 2021, selling over 500,000 units. Base price for a Model 3 is $40,390 according to Tesla’s product overview website.

Buttigieg is one of a collection of freaks who comprises the “Cabinet.” Like all things Biden, this clown car cabinet produces nothing useful and all things traitorous to those they are supposed to represent. In other periods of history, Buttitgieg would be hanging next to his peers, the message would be clear, and the next cabinet would be way more careful.
Sec buthead, buttigieg, doesn’t really tell u the whole story. Not only can’t most people not afford these vehicles, u can’t travel far without charging them,and their isn’t enough charging stations available. Charging these vehicles will drain our pathetic electric grid, but no one will tell u that.Electric vehicles give off more pollution than gas vehicles, but they won’t tell u that.If your battery goes dead it will cost 15,000 to 20,000 to replace it,they won’t tell u that either. All this green bullshit, will bankrupt the country, and give americans rolling blackouts,more than what’s happening now.These batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines are all non=recycleable, that puts more pollution,in our earth, wake up,this corrupt administration, is selling u all a line of bullshit,and propaganda about all of this.They,the dumbpcraps are destroying our way of life,with reprehensable outcomes.
