Buttigieg: 'The More Pain' You Feel at the Gas Pump, the Higher the Benefit of an EV
 By Bradley Cortright  July 19, 2022 at 3:01pm

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg speaks about infrastructure and the Hudson River Tunnels during a press conference at Penn Station in New York, on June 28, 2021. - Buttigieg joins Democratic New York Senator Chuck Schumer after the tour Monday morning to discuss funding for the $11 billion project to build a new tunnel.

Paying near record-high prices for gas may be hitting your wallet hard, but according to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, that will just make an electric vehicle all the more worth it.

During a House hearing on Tuesday, Buttigieg said, “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.”

According to Kelly Blue Book, the average price of an electric vehicle (EV) is roughly $60,000. As CNBC notes, that is “roughly $10,000 higher than the overall industry average of $46,329 that includes gas and EVs.

“In terms of pricing, an EV is equivalent to an entry-level luxury car,” it added.

On top of paying for the car, EV owners can spend around $2,000 to install “Level 2” chargers that can charge their vehicle in less than eight hours.

Otherwise, “Level 1” charges can take up to 40 hours to charge the vehicle.

Story in the news that a family that bought an EV had to replace a battery and the battery cost more than the vehicle.

Just promoting the Superfund sites of the future, because all of those batteries and the cars will have to be disposed of at some point.

Yes, ICE vehicles reach an end of service life, but at today's prices many older ones can be rebuilt for less than the cost of a new one if you are fortunate enough to live somewhere the bodywork doesn't rust away.

Mine are all 20th century vehicles, and at some point will likely end up recycled for their metal content, including the batteries that start them.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

 Is there anyone left that doesn't believe all this is intentional? They themselves admit the suffering they are inflicting on us is intentional

BDSM Butt gig is just trying to say a little pain to go along with this con makes it all the sweeter, especially if your some one that has deeply invested in EV stocks.  I kept telling people that the democrats invest heavily in those the believe in and receive donation, and the American people damn sure ain't it.  Still, there are so many that thrill in Bidens Butt Gig and his buddies bending them over endlessly, and many brazenly so;.

Anythings better than Trump, vote biden, remember?

Indeed a rip-off @Sighlass  the last vehicle I had, had over 120,000 miles on it before I traded it in and back in the early '70's I had a Pontiac Sunbird that had over 100,000 miles on it before I sold it when I got married. I loved that car, the only thing I ever had to do to it was put on brakes and oil  changes.

Yes and no. Stupid people often do things believing they are doing good.
 I don't give Bootyjunk that benefit of the doubt, but the old adage "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" still holds true for many lib/leftist pols.

This idiot is just one big dumb@ss.

To intentionally inflict pain on people to get what they want in order to gain extremely questionable benefits is the height of destructive actions.

Am thinking people should begin to be prosecuted for cruel and unusual punishment.
