Biden pledges to replace government fleet with electric vehicles
By Rachel Frazin - 01/26/21 03:36 PM EST

President Biden on Monday pledged to replace vehicles owned by the federal government with U.S.-made electric vehicles, doubling down on a similar campaign pledge.

“The federal government also owns an enormous fleet of vehicles which we're going to replace with clean, electric vehicles made right here in America by American workers,” he said while discussing an executive order aimed at increasing federal procurement of products made in the U.S.

The executive order did not discuss vehicles specifically, but said that the government should get products from “sources that will help American businesses compete” in unspecified “strategic industries.”

The government says that it is the largest consumer in the world, buying more than $550 billion dollars in goods and services each year.

I so hope that Sloe Joe get stranded somewhere in one of these vehicles.

Now he has committed himself to being seen riding in that aberration.

I wish he also would say helicopters are to be electric.

Would be fun watching him takeoff from the WH lawn and not going anywhere.

Let's see them turn the "beast" into an electric vehicle.  Not going to happen....
