The electric vehicle energy use
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg tried to convince Congress that he needs electric car subsidies for electric vehicles to help people like you and me at the pump:
“The more pain we are all experiencing from the high price of gas, the more benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicle,” Buttigieg said.
“So you’re saying the more pain we have, the more benefit we’re gonna get?” Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., asked. “I think that’s what I heard you say.”
Buttigieg emphasized, “Of course – no, no, that’s what you heard me say. I know you want me to say it so bad but honestly, sir, what we’re saying is we could have no pain at all by making EVs cheaper for everyone.”
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) dropped a common sense truth bomb on Buttigieg because um, what?! Math and economics from Massie:
“It would take four times as much electricity to charge the average household’s cars as the average household uses on air conditioning. Do you think that could be — so if we reach the goal by 2030 that Biden has, of a fifty percent adoption instead of one hundred percent adoption, that means the average household would use twice as much electricity charging one of their cars as they would use for all of the air conditioning that they use for the entire year.”
Imagine how much more we would pay for electricity if we all had to have electric cars. Now imagine how much more we would have to pay if they placed a tax on the electricity usage for the cars. Or they’ll tax you for the mileage you use.
By the way, Massie probably knows more than Buttigieg when it comes to science and energy.
Massie is a legit genius with multiple degrees from MIT. He has a B.S.and M.S.degrees in electrical engineering. He also completed a master’s of science degree.

There is more.
The math and the science do not support the administration's claims about electric vehicles for the masses.
