Joe Biden Addresses High Gas Prices: Americans Can Save Money if They Buy Electric Cars

President Joe Biden promoted his efforts to lower gas prices on Tuesday, but he reminded Americans they would save more money on gas if they owned electric cars.

“For the hundreds of thousands of folks who bought one of those electric cars, they’re going to save $800 to $1000 in fuel costs this year,” Biden said, referring to the $112,595 electric Hummer pickup he test drove at a General Motors factory in Detroit earlier this month.

The president appeared frustrated that some Americans continue blaming his environmental agenda for higher gas prices, dismissing it as a “myth.”

“My effort to combat climate change is not raising the price of gas, what it’s doing is increasing the availability of jobs,” Biden insisted.

He claimed his government subsidies for green energy and electric cars would only help Americans get jobs and save more money.

Why not just do away with federal gasoline taxes Joe?

A more permanent solution with an immediate and substantive result at the pump.

Those taxes don't go right into the transportation budget anyway.

And we can use the savings of not paying illegals half a million apiece to break our laws to make up some of the difference.

How long do EV batteries last?

Under current estimates, most EV batteries will last somewhere between 10-20 years before they need to be replaced.

However, according to a survey by Cox Automotive, many potential EV buyers have reservations when it comes to battery life and the costs associated with battery replacement.

For many considering purchasing an electric vehicle, just under half consider the average battery life to be less than 65,000 miles (+- 105,000 kms).

How much does an electric car battery cost?

The aforementioned fears are understandable: the battery pack of an EV is by far the most expensive part of the vehicle and can cost $5,000 on average and even as much as $15,000 per battery in some cases.

I can save money if I vote Republican.

I hope dipstick Biden is still alive when these duped EV consumers have to buy their 1st replacement battery.

On book value, the vehicle will likely be considered totalled.  And just think what the cost to the environment with replacements and disposal.  Freakin' idiotic socialist dimocrats can't think more than one move ahead.

Calling Biden a fool is insulting to actual fools.

I can save money if I vote Republican.

Usually you can save money. But check the what they say versus what they do to confirm. I always perform
the say/do comparison.

Glenn was the last dem I voted for. Saying you are conservative is not enough. I need to see it on the
large issues and see it in their votes. Liars come in all persuasions.
