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.”

I don't even know where to begin. Such stupidity is scary in someone who is president of the US. And I bet all his communist appointees think the same. Just buy an electric car. No we don't have a lot of refueling stations yet but we're going to spend $3 trillion dollars fixing that. And save a little money on the side because if your battery goes dead, it might cost a few thousand to replace but with our booming economy, you'll be able to afford it. That about right, Joe?

Tell you what, Dementia Joe, why don't you go to one of those EV charging stations and insert the plug into one of your personal apertures?

People without jobs generally don’t buy cars,
I should have $10,000/yr. In car payments to save $800? Um, no.

Joe "Dementia" Biden
"As dementia progresses, driving is impaired by poor judgment (the person may drive in terrible weather), memory loss (the person may get lost), problems with reasoning and problem solving (the person may be unable to understand signage or an unfamiliar detour) and fatigue (the person may fall asleep). When these factors develop, taking the wheel makes a driver truly a danger to society and him or herself."
$112,595 electric Hummer pickup?
Fixing a bumper should be $10,000 or less. Jill, maybe HB can help out.

I'm sure the poor can save a thousand just by going out and getting an electric car. Has anyone tell this guy it will cost a thousand just to put a receptacle at the house? " Let them eat cake," I guess.

The whole motive of driving up gas prices is to push people to electric vehicles, which are not cheap and you won't save a penny.

If you can barely afford gas, how can you afford a new electric car that will cost easily twice what a comparably sized gas powered car does?

In the words of that well known philosopher, Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon!"
Just about every cost-benefit anaylsis I've seen says all-electric cars cost more to operate than a gasoline powered vehicle. The purchase price is higher, maintenance and repair costs are higher. And perhaps electricity is less expensive, but chances are you're going to incur higher costs in setting up a home charging station and increased home electricity bills.
Add to that the shorter range of these vehicles, availability and speed of recharging (think stopping for an hour or two or more to recharge on that long trip vs. a few minutes to fill up the tank).
Also, where does that electricity come from? Unless you got a windmill on top of that car, chances are the power comes from coal, nuclear, or natural gas powered plants. Also, as more electric vehicles hit the road, neighborhood power grids will not be able to take the increased demand for recharge power. In fact, I once read about what a "corner gas station" would have to be to re-fuel (re-charge) electric vehicles. The station would have to have a power plant large enough to power a small town and take up more than a couple city blocks.
Now, I can see the idea behind hybrid (gasoline-electric) vehicles as they have the backup of a fuel powered engine.
I once saw a picture of a rural charging station. There it was, with a diesel generator powering it. Duh.

Wait until they have replace the battery or the electricity goes out and they can’t charge it. Or, they take a long car trip and it is cold and the battery takes forever to recharge and won’t get them as far.

Where are Americans getting the cash to buy expensive electric cars, Sleepy Joe? That's like telling folks to buy solar panels and windmills to lower their power bills. How can you afford such things that take years to pay back the money you spend.

Average New Car prices(for ALL cars) is $47,000..Electric $70k+...a "Good" one? Over $100k with $thousands of Tax payer subsidy included.
6-8 years ago...I bought my father a 2bdr/2bath "final home" on 3/4 fenced acre, in a safe, pretty, friendly, great schools, lots of seniors/starter families suburb for $47K, fixed it up a bit...now worth $150k.
I bought it at a Tax Sale, someone was sent into bankruptcy by high Taxes, lost everything.
I COULD have bought a Tesla, or some other Flashy/Stylish Ego E-Car then...for $150k, that would now be worth $47k.
Instead I kept driving my used Jeeps, bought for under $5k, until after 300k+ miles when I'd get rid of that one and get another w/only 100k or so.

Consider this..with all of the climate scare "Increased Flood Risks"..how "smart" izzit to buy a E-smart car that will be DEAD if it gets damp? Will sales be banned within the 100yr flood plain areas? Insurance 'necessarily skyrocket', but available as a supplemental/subsidized Federal Flood policy? Imagine trying to evacuate Mobile/Tampa/Houston/New Orleans/Miami/Long Island/NJ/Carolina Coasts as a hurricane approaches when Half the cars are Electric..

What world is Biden living in? As average working American, who is now concerned about the current raising price of gasoline, does not have $80,000.00 to purchase an electric motor vehicle that has limited range that may be even much shorter during the dead of winter. A person driving long distance right now on the interstate highway system currently have no way to recharge the batteries in those electric vehicles.

C'mon man, Joe is right again, you just don't have the mental capacity to keep up with him. Buy a Tesla, start out on any major interstate and enjoy the first couple of hundred miles. You will then hum to a stop at an unexpected time, spend the rest of your life waiting for the battery charger truck and die there. You will probably have saved over thirty thousand dollars in fuel charges. Hint: You can spend the rest of your idle time counting the number of drivers carrying gas cans offering to help you.

Electric cars run on fossil fuel. I can convince nobody of this (except you L-dotters who already know it). I've had a 2-3 comment exchange with some dumb broad (sorry, that's what my dad used to call them, including me, when I deserved it) who replied that they run on batteries. I said, how do the batteries get charged, she said charging stations. I said how are the charging stations powered. She hasn't answered yet. :)

And where is the electricity going to come from to power all those vehicles you think we need to waste money on? That's right, you have no plans for producing that either. Epic stupidity abounds in DC, and the media and democrats are totally okay with it.

Absolute baloney! The sources of electrical power to charge electric cars are dams, nuclear plants, solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal sources, and fossil fuels. All of these combined other than fossil fuels are totally inadequate to provide the amount of electricity necessary for our economy.

The amount of energy it takes to manufacture an electric car far exceeds the amount to manufacture current cars. Also, at the end of its life, you have to properly dispose of the batteries, which is also expensive. Throw in all the points made by previous posters, and Biden's argument is nothing more than a bumper sticker slogan.

Xiden says what is on the screen. I sincerely hope his 1967 Corvette convertible keys are in a safe and unavailable place. With his neuropathy and cognitive problems, he could not manage a 4-speed manual shift.
Oh, and electric cars are resource hogs, from the massive battery packs that die in 4 years requiring rare earths that aren't recyclable to fragile aluminum bodies. To charging stations and home charging powered by coal, oil, nuclear off a grid that can't support them. But Joe doesn't comprehend reality invading the vacuum between his ears.
