There are some valid arguments to be be made but this isn’t one of them. Where in the country do you live that you can’t get to an EV charger and what horrible ranged EV did you buy? (doubt that you bought one). No way does a 3hr trip turn into a 5hr trip. I’ve driven 14hrs in the winter and at 80mph and only spent 2.5hrs charging total.

I live in upstate NY and I've had an EV for 5 years... range loss is less than 20%, even down to 0 F. Range, even in winter, just isn't an issue. BTW, listening to Scott Perry and reading through the comments, virtually every negative said about EV's is just flat out wrong. I'm an engineer that has studied the technology and my family has three EV's... the age of the internal combustion engine is quickly coming to an end.

@@dc14522 while you're on your soap box pounding your chest about your precious EVs, the point is the avg American CAN'T AFFORD THEM especially in this economy where people can't afford rent and food...glad life's great for you tho.

@@charliepastrami2813 Two of the three EV's that my family drives were bought without subsidies. That's because I did the math and they're less expensive to own and operate than any comparable ICE car. Granted, I'm comparing them to fairly expensive ICE cars like Toyota Camrys and Honda Accords. So the subsidies are lowering the costs of an EV to the point that a really nice EV is comparable to lower end ICE car. But there are two things happening that will make EV's even more affordable. First, EV manufacturers started with high-end vehicles and are now moving down-market. Second, is what's called Wright's law. It says that the more things a company makes, the lower the cost to make them. Tesla, for example, has grown by more than 50% per year for over a decade, and their costs are coming down with that growth. Add that to a mass-market vehicle coming soon, and you have EV's that are affordable for nearly everyone.

@@dc14522 i think upstate new york need a few hundred thousand immigrants seeing how you can afford an EV and all, you should take in a family or 2 and hook them up with a couple EVs.

@@swiftlytiltingplanet8481 hey child, I don't know if you're just trying to sound like a tool but he didn't answer the questions. He was only giving his statements to questions that were not asked of him. He was evading each and every single one of them. Pretentious much? He knew what as asked about the price of EVs for people that make less than 100k a year yet at the same time defending the thought that "rich" people were excluded as if this was some kind of justification for the current now. Over 100k+ per households were excluded from any government program, "well I need to point out that wealthy people were specifically excluded from the inflation reduction act." What a joke this dude is! This act btw was at a time where people still wouldn't be able to afford a EV!!!! SO WHATS THE POINT IN SAYING IT OTHER THAN "EVADING THE QUESTION"

@@somethingotherthanyou5124 You do know that we have several EVs priced under $30,000, right? He never evaded a single question. The rare times that he wasn't cut off, he gave cogent, well-thought-out answers, not evasive ones. If given time to explain, Buttigieg would have made a lot more sense to you, but he wasn't given that time. Here's some information you're apparently unaware of, and I'll give all my sources so you can verify them for yourself:: The electricity required to drive 15,000 miles per year in a compact electric vehicle costs an average of $546, while the amount of gas required to drive the same distance costs $1,255 (or 130%) more in an equivalent size gas car, according to AAA. (See TRUE COST of ELECTRIC VEHICLES) Electric cars cost $330 per year less in maintenance, according to AAA, or $3300 less over ten years. The average owner can save up to $6000 over an EV's lifespan, according to Consumer Reports. That's in addition to up to $7500 in tax credits for buying one. Yes, EVs in the U.S. cost more upfront but they save consumers money in the long run. In China, where the industry has already scaled up, EVs are CHEAPER than gasoline cars. Price parity in the U.S. should be reached in the next three years, according to Car and Driver magazine. According to Autoinsurance EZ, using figures from the National Transportation Safety Board, EVs are 10 times LESS LIKELY to experience a fire than a gasoline car. EVs' rollover rate is significantly lower than gasoline cars, due to the heavy battery's low center of gravity. It's part of the reason EVs have a 40% LESS death and injury rate than equivalent gasoline cars. EVs front end crash test results place them with the very safest luxury gasoline cars. EVs have instant torque, allowing you to get onto the highway far quicker than an equivalent gas car. Last but not least, emissions from EVs (from their manufacture and from their energy sources) are significantly less than that of gasoline cars, even in states that produce most of their power from coal, according to a two year study by the Union of Concerned Scientists.

It's not just this administration. The rot runs deep in both parities. Unfortunately.

​@karimhabsi6508 The difference is, both the product and the industry were replaced with something bigger and better. What we're doing here is handing much of what's left of the american auto industry to china. By coercing american consumers, no less.

EV's are soon going to be cheaper and last longer than gas vehicles.

@@karimhabsi6508 The horse business wasn’t stabbed in the back by the auto business. No one told the horse owners they had to give them up and buy cars. This administration is going to try and force us to buy a vehicle that is so expensive I will never be able to buy it. It’s inconvenient in the least and a f**king pain in the ass at the extreme to keep charged. I don’t have a clue what routine repairs cost but I’m guessing a shit ton. China will own us if certain politicians get their way and stop us from buying gas vehicles. I will probably get a horse if that happens.

Well, 1900 is just about where the GOP/GWP would like to put the US, so electric cars should be fine with you all.

You know lighters were created before matches? They weren't as popular as lighters up until manufacturing made it easier to distribute that technology. Once it did, we didn't need to rely on a technology that is inherently disposable. Batteries are way more powerful now and everyone has electricity in their homes and all around them where that wasn't the case in the early 1900s. There are a ton of other inventions that were invented long ago but weren't able to be marketed because manufacturing wasn't available.

I would never have bought an electric vehicle either if my brother had him convince me that I was three times more likely to be seriously injured in my Toyota Highlander, then in a Tesla. Long-term the tester will save me money in fuel and maintenance. Short term they’re much more fun to drive. They are more relaxing on the long highway drive because of lack of noise and vibration. Range anxiety is never an issue because the vehicle tells you exactly where to go and for how long in order to get to your destination. I watch my fathers drive and get worse as he aged and would’ve done well to have the accident avoidance system that Tesla has, if not go to full distance to full self driving, which would’ve Made it safer for him and other drivers on the road.. You cannot say at this point that you would never drive an EV because you’ve not received a fair evaluation. I’ve convinced 23 of my friends are by Tesla over the last five years and everyone of them is grateful I did so. Not one person backed out and everyone of them continues to drive Tesla. It’s also the car with the greatest American content.
