Nearly 72 percent of all job gains since 2021 were simply jobs that were being recovered from the pandemic, not new job creation. In fact, when looking at today’s economy compared to pre-pandemic levels, employment is up only by 3.7 million, not 13 million. On the other hand, in his first 2.5 years, job creation under President Trump was 5 million-1.3 million more jobs than the current President in the same time frame after factoring in the recovery from pandemic.
Also when they say there is more then enough jobs the fact is 90% of available jobs are low pay McDonald’s etc… and the jobs we lost were high paying skill or trade jobs… so they say the truth sometimes just leave out the fact that our good jobs are being shipped out
I wonder why job growth was so strong at first for Trump. Could it be that Obama turned over a growing economy? What did Trump turn over to Biden? What did Bush turn over to Obama? What did Bush turn over to Clinton? Why is the truth so hard for republicans to except? Bottom line is republicans are good for the top 1 percent, democrats are good for the other 99 percent.
One hundred+ years ago people were freaking out about the automobile. It scared their horses. They got stuck in the mud. There was nowhere to buy gas. Only the rich could afford one. But Ford's idea of mass producing the automobile so the working man could afford one created jobs. Highways needed to be built....more jobs. Service stations....more jobs. Now, I'm sure many in those days refused that "new" way of life. I'm sure they fought against it. I'm sure they wanted to stay the way things were. But, it is America. A country that leads in progressing towards the future.
@@chrislapp9468 An electric car's higher price tag and more complex equipment means it may cost more to repair or replace if it's in an accident. That can mean higher rates for policyholders who carry comprehensive and collision coverage.
@@414pancake The equipment for an EV is simplified but the insurance rates are up because for even a small accident, the whole battery tray has to be replaced.
I saw an EV being towed by a diesel tow truck to a charging station. It reminds me of the time it took two SUVs to drive Pothole Pete and his bike to his office.

Considering that during the strike and the Detroit Auto Show last week and this week, that the Ford CEO had admitted that Ford has lost billions trying to get EVs selling and realizing that the EVs are burning up just sitting in the parking lot. Not to mention that if the batteries get wet, salt or flood waters, they burn up!

The auto industry has always opposed improvements in safety , fuel efficiency and emission standards on the false assumption that these would kill the auto manufacturers and consumers would opposé said improvements. It wasn’t until it was shown that consumers approved and welcomed these changes that the industry embraced them and actually used these improvements as a selling feature. The short sightedness of these idiots continues.
They are already saying people are not buying cars because they are too expensive. I heard dealerships will be going under soon because they will not lower prices.

I live in upstate NY and I've had an EV for 5 years... range loss is less than 20%, even down to 0 F. Range, even in winter, just isn't an issue. BTW, listening to Scott Perry and reading through the comments, virtually every negative said about EV's is just flat out wrong. I'm an engineer that has studied the technology and my family has three EV's... the age of the internal combustion engine is quickly coming to an end.
@@dc14522 while you're on your soap box pounding your chest about your precious EVs, the point is the avg American CAN'T AFFORD THEM especially in this economy where people can't afford rent and food...glad life's great for you tho.
@@charliepastrami2813 Two of the three EV's that my family drives were bought without subsidies. That's because I did the math and they're less expensive to own and operate than any comparable ICE car. Granted, I'm comparing them to fairly expensive ICE cars like Toyota Camrys and Honda Accords. So the subsidies are lowering the costs of an EV to the point that a really nice EV is comparable to lower end ICE car. But there are two things happening that will make EV's even more affordable. First, EV manufacturers started with high-end vehicles and are now moving down-market. Second, is what's called Wright's law. It says that the more things a company makes, the lower the cost to make them. Tesla, for example, has grown by more than 50% per year for over a decade, and their costs are coming down with that growth. Add that to a mass-market vehicle coming soon, and you have EV's that are affordable for nearly everyone.
@@dc14522 i think upstate new york need a few hundred thousand immigrants seeing how you can afford an EV and all, you should take in a family or 2 and hook them up with a couple EVs.
I would never have bought an electric vehicle either if my brother had him convince me that I was three times more likely to be seriously injured in my Toyota Highlander, then in a Tesla. Long-term the tester will save me money in fuel and maintenance. Short term they’re much more fun to drive. They are more relaxing on the long highway drive because of lack of noise and vibration. Range anxiety is never an issue because the vehicle tells you exactly where to go and for how long in order to get to your destination. I watch my fathers drive and get worse as he aged and would’ve done well to have the accident avoidance system that Tesla has, if not go to full distance to full self driving, which would’ve Made it safer for him and other drivers on the road.. You cannot say at this point that you would never drive an EV because you’ve not received a fair evaluation. I’ve convinced 23 of my friends are by Tesla over the last five years and everyone of them is grateful I did so. Not one person backed out and everyone of them continues to drive Tesla. It’s also the car with the greatest American content.
We have an EV, and I wouldn't buy another one. Can't use it to visit family in a neighboring state, as there's nowhere to charge between here and there, and charging takes too long, anyway, which would turn a 3-hour trip into a 5-hour trip one way. My husband bought it because it was a novelty, but he complains about plugging it in and blowing circuit breakers if we try to use a vacuum cleaner that's on the same circuit when the car is plugged in. Sorry, but they're not ready for prime-time.
There are some valid arguments to be be made but this isn’t one of them. Where in the country do you live that you can’t get to an EV charger and what horrible ranged EV did you buy? (doubt that you bought one). No way does a 3hr trip turn into a 5hr trip. I’ve driven 14hrs in the winter and at 80mph and only spent 2.5hrs charging total. And IF your circuit breaker is tripping because of the EV car and a vacuum then you got a bad electrician or you did it yourself and you had no idea what you were doing.
I grew up in Flint, MI. My grandpa worked for GM. My cousin’s husband worked for GM. My dad worked as a truck driver for GM. By the time my brothers and I were old enough to work in the auto industry it was a dying industry. This administration has put the final knife in its back.
I am quite sure there was a German who worked in the horse shit mopping business in the early 1900s who must have lamented the advent of the internal combustion engine car as it took out the business of horse wagons, as the business of hors shit collection was stabbed in the back by the automobile.
@karimhabsi6508 The difference is, both the product and the industry were replaced with something bigger and better. What we're doing here is handing much of what's left of the american auto industry to china. By coercing american consumers, no less. If you think ev batteries are ever going to be made here, or under american oversight at all, you're naive.
@@karimhabsi6508 The horse business wasn’t stabbed in the back by the auto business. No one told the horse owners they had to give them up and buy cars. This administration is going to try and force us to buy a vehicle that is so expensive I will never be able to buy it. It’s inconvenient in the least and a f**king pain in the ass at the extreme to keep charged. I don’t have a clue what routine repairs cost but I’m guessing a shit ton. China will own us if certain politicians get their way and stop us from buying gas vehicles. I will probably get a horse if that happens.
Buttigieg is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Oxford, He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard. He was in the US Military as a Navy Officer and served in Afghanistan. He has more smarts than many of you commenting. The guy asking the questions was playing political theater looking for specific answers and wasn't getting that answer so he rudely spoke over Pete and would not let him continue to speak because he didn't want anyone to hear the truth.
Of all the stupid arguments to be made, that's the weakest. Agree with him or not, Buttigieg continually shows himself to be one of the most prepared, composed, and reasoned politicians on the national stage. Stick to butt puns.
As opposed to someone who can't articulate themselves very well and this is generally the tactic with GOP. I am going to scream louder so no one can realize how ignorant and short sited I am about the future of my country. Only in it for the power. And before you say Pete Buttigieg, that's how you spell his last name by the way, before you say Buttigieg is doing the same thing. Remember he is Secretary of Transportation, that's pretty low on the totem pole in regards to white house power. Yet he is doing more than Kamala Harris, so I guess the question is, would you rather have an ignorant Republican, a Lazy VP, or a proactive cabinet member?

@@somethingotherthanyou5124 You do know that we have several EVs priced under $30,000, right? He never evaded a single question. The rare times that he wasn't cut off, he gave cogent, well-thought-out answers, not evasive ones. If given time to explain, Buttigieg would have made a lot more sense to you, but he wasn't given that time. Here's some information you're apparently unaware of, and I'll give all my sources so you can verify them for yourself:: The electricity required to drive 15,000 miles per year in a compact electric vehicle costs an average of $546, while the amount of gas required to drive the same distance costs $1,255 (or 130%) more in an equivalent size gas car, according to AAA. (See TRUE COST of ELECTRIC VEHICLES) Electric cars cost $330 per year less in maintenance, according to AAA, or $3300 less over ten years. The average owner can save up to $6000 over an EV's lifespan, according to Consumer Reports. That's in addition to up to $7500 in tax credits for buying one. Yes, EVs in the U.S. cost more upfront but they save consumers money in the long run. In China, where the industry has already scaled up, EVs are CHEAPER than gasoline cars. Price parity in the U.S. should be reached in the next three years, according to Car and Driver magazine. According to Autoinsurance EZ, using figures from the National Transportation Safety Board, EVs are 10 times LESS LIKELY to experience a fire than a gasoline car. EVs' rollover rate is significantly lower than gasoline cars, due to the heavy battery's low center of gravity. It's part of the reason EVs have a 40% LESS death and injury rate than equivalent gasoline cars. EVs front end crash test results place them with the very safest luxury gasoline cars. EVs have instant torque, allowing you to get onto the highway far quicker than an equivalent gas car. Last but not least, emissions from EVs (from their manufacture and from their energy sources) are significantly less than that of gasoline cars, even in states that produce most of their power from coal, according to a two year study by the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Politicians who vote on bills should have to 100% follow that bill themselves. They frequently make sure those laws do not apply to them. How the heck is that acceptable? I cannot afford an EV, nor can most people, let alone the battery for one. Never mind I don’t want one of those pieces of junk. That is the idea, though. If you cannot afford it, you must rely on public transportation, aka the crooked government, to get around. That is what they want. They want you broke, stuck, and unable to be dependent or to move freely.
If y’all haven’t seen that vid about Granholm’s trip in her electric car you’ve got to see it. Funnier than Hell. I think it’s entitled “You can’t make this stuff up “.
There are already developments on that area. Most of the arguments against EV are based on the assumption that there won't be changes. But that's simply not the case. The problems are approached and fixes are in development.
Those are not only factored into this push but a primary focus. 'They" don't want you to own an EV, the grid can't support it & the limited range falls in the middle of 15 minute cities & the gov't need to limit your travel. No private EV means to rent a public share EV with a gov't app that you need premission to use & answer the questions of where your going, with who, for how long etc. The purpose of these EV's is to stifle our freedoms not 'save the planet". Look at the mining needs for the batteries & their life expectancies / disposal costs, suddenly it makes more sense what they're pushing
1) Semi true but that implies all luxury cars above 40k are expensive and it doesn’t stop people from buying them 2) The GRID is outdated and needs to be fixed (which they are working on) 3) EVs nowadays get about 300miles of range. 99.9% of the time, people use far less than this with the occasional trip further. These are terrible talking points Regarding subsidies, the oil and gas industry is also subsidized. But we won’t talk about that. Is the nation ready for 100% EVs in the next 10 yrs? no way. But the turnover of cars is such that 100% adoption is a good 30-40yrs away - most of the gomers will be dead by then.
@@EternalTL2k3 Do you believe a grid will ever be built which can supply EV charging, all the household energy needs (including A/C's) transportation needs beyond EV's & industries? One which doesn't go on revolving power outages? A sustainable energy grid without any fossel fuels?
@@robertgodlewski8553 10-15k (costs that people in the higher brackets can absorb). Supercars that rich people drive also have high failure rates costing about 10-15k also but that’s JUST the motor. Add in the other components that could fail including transmission, belts, brakes, etc and the 3-4k per year in maintenance, the EV cars win out. These are just talking points again used by the anti-EV establishment. There are more valid arguments to use. People need to get away from the straw man rebuttals - one exception doesn’t prove the rule wrong.
Thank you, Forbes, for posting this video. I am so impressed by Pete Buttigieg. He is brilliant. I hope he becomes president some day. Scott Perry's whining and constant interrupting only made Buttigieg calmer as he replied with facts.

Legislators use their platforms to push their political agenda in these types of hearings. It would be great to see someone who has respect for the person that they are questioning and doesn’t constantly interrupt answers they don’t want to hear.
Your comment shows a thin grasp on the scope of oil subsidies. There's a reason your gas doesn't cost $7/gal. Oil is artificially kept low to artificially keep food prices low to keep you believing that you live in a Eutopia sponsored by ExxonMobil.
We need to start hooking politicians to electrical probes. Every time a politician doesn't answerer the question they get a shock.

@@nancyhewitt858 Why are you thinking of the "today" only? EV gets cheaper and cheaper and eventually it will be cheaper to buy and own an equivalent EV than a vehicle which relies on hydrocarbons. Also the cheapest EV costs 27,5k at the moment. At least in the USA. In other countries it's cheaper. I could buy an EV in Germany for 15,5k€, which is ~16,4k USD. And of course then there's also the used marked. The cheapest used EVs are around 4k€ (~4200 USD).
Um, lots of us want EVs. I get really tired of people like Perry assuming that we're all a bunch of backward bozos who don't want to move forward into a future that gives us a chance to avoid the worst effects of global warming. And there is no reason why auto manufacturers should be fighting this transition because it absolutely is the case that either we build these cars, or we get left behind when China builds them. And then they will indeed lose all of these manufacturing jobs - to China.
If the American consumer can't afford to buy new cars, maybe the big Three manufacturers should make their cars more efficiently and pay their chief executives less money.

It wasn’t until it was shown that consumers approved and welcomed these changes that the industry embraced them and actually used these improvements as a selling feature. The short sightedness of these idiots continues.

I live in upstate NY and I've had an EV for 5 years... range loss is less than 20%, even down to 0 F. Range, even in winter, just isn't an issue.

@@dc14522 while you're on your soap box pounding your chest about your precious EVs, the point is the avg American CAN'T AFFORD THEM especially in this economy where people can't afford rent and food...glad life's great for you tho.
@@charliepastrami2813 Two of the three EV's that my family drives were bought without subsidies. That's because I did the math and they're less expensive to own and operate than any comparable ICE car. Granted, I'm comparing them to fairly expensive ICE cars like Toyota Camrys and Honda Accords. So the subsidies are lowering the costs of an EV to the point that a really nice EV is comparable to lower end ICE car. But there are two things happening that will make EV's even more affordable. First, EV manufacturers started with high-end vehicles and are now moving down-market. Second, is what's called Wright's law. It says that the more things a company makes, the lower the cost to make them. Tesla, for example, has grown by more than 50% per year for over a decade, and their costs are coming down with that growth. Add that to a mass-market vehicle coming soon, and you have EV's that are affordable for nearly everyone.

At 77 y/o I believe I can say with little doubt that I’ll ever buy an EV. My 10 year old Toyota will keep rolling for another 100K miles.
I would never have bought an electric vehicle either if my brother had him convince me that I was three times more likely to be seriously injured in my Toyota Highlander, then in a Tesla. Long-term the tester will save me money in fuel and maintenance. Short term they’re much more fun to drive. They are more relaxing on the long highway drive because of lack of noise and vibration. Range anxiety is never an issue because the vehicle tells you exactly where to go and for how long in order to get to your destination. I watch my fathers drive and get worse as he aged and would’ve done well to have the accident avoidance system that Tesla has, if not go to full distance to full self driving, which would’ve Made it safer for him and other drivers on the road..
You cannot say at this point that you would never drive an EV because you’ve not received a fair evaluation. I’ve convinced 23 of my friends are by Tesla over the last five years and everyone of them is grateful I did so. Not one person backed out and everyone of them continues to drive Tesla. It’s also the car with the greatest American content.
We have an EV, and I wouldn't buy another one. Can't use it to visit family in a neighboring state, as there's nowhere to charge between here and there, and charging takes too long, anyway, which would turn a 3-hour trip into a 5-hour trip one way. My husband bought it because it was a novelty, but he complains about plugging it in and blowing circuit breakers if we try to use a vacuum cleaner that's on the same circuit when the car is plugged in. Sorry, but they're not ready for prime-time.
Don't you know were are saving the planet by using the Ev's ? While we are destroying the environment in the process of making these "green" vehicles
There are some valid arguments to be be made but this isn’t one of them. Where in the country do you live that you can’t get to an EV charger and what horrible ranged EV did you buy? (doubt that you bought one). No way does a 3hr trip turn into a 5hr trip. I’ve driven 14hrs in the winter and at 80mph and only spent 2.5hrs charging total. And IF your circuit breaker is tripping because of the EV car and a vacuum then you got a bad electrician or you did it yourself and you had no idea what you were doing.
Scream this from the roof tops .
@@rmk7230 probably lives in a mobile home like me, where it's very easy to overload a circuit breaker without even trying.

I grew up in Flint, MI. My grandpa worked for GM. My cousin’s husband worked for GM. My dad worked as a truck driver for GM. By the time my brothers and I were old enough to work in the auto industry it was a dying industry. This administration has put the final knife in its back.
I am quite sure there was a German who worked in the horse shit mopping business in the early 1900s who must have lamented the advent of the internal combustion engine car as it took out the business of horse wagons, as the business of hors shit collection was stabbed in the back by the automobile.

@karimhabsi6508 The difference is, both the product and the industry were replaced with something bigger and better. What we're doing here is handing much of what's left of the american auto industry to china. By coercing american consumers, no less. If you think ev batteries are ever going to be made here, or under american oversight at all, you're naive.

@@karimhabsi6508 The horse business wasn’t stabbed in the back by the auto business. No one told the horse owners they had to give them up and buy cars.

It’s inconvenient in the least and a f**king pain in the ass at the extreme to keep charged. I don’t have a clue what routine repairs cost but I’m guessing a shit ton. China will own us if certain politicians get their way and stop us from buying gas vehicles. I will probably get a horse if that happens.

The rare times that he wasn't cut off, he gave cogent, well-thought-out answers, not evasive ones. If given time to explain, Buttigieg would have made a lot more sense to you, but he wasn't given that time. Here's some information you're apparently unaware of, and I'll give all my sources so you can verify them for yourself::
The electricity required to drive 15,000 miles per year in a compact electric vehicle costs an average of $546, while the amount of gas required to drive the same distance costs $1,255 (or 130%) more in an equivalent size gas car, according to AAA. (See TRUE COST of ELECTRIC VEHICLES)
Electric cars cost $330 per year less in maintenance, according to AAA, or $3300 less over ten years.
The average owner can save up to $6000 over an EV's lifespan, according to Consumer Reports. That's in addition to up to $7500 in tax credits for buying one. Yes, EVs in the U.S. cost more upfront but they save consumers money in the long run. In China, where the industry has already scaled up, EVs are CHEAPER than gasoline cars. Price parity in the U.S. should be reached in the next three years, according to Car and Driver magazine.
According to Autoinsurance EZ, using figures from the National Transportation Safety Board, EVs are 10 times LESS LIKELY to experience a fire than a gasoline car.
EVs' rollover rate is significantly lower than gasoline cars, due to the heavy battery's low center of gravity. It's part of the reason EVs have a 40% LESS death and injury rate than equivalent gasoline cars.
EVs front end crash test results place them with the very safest luxury gasoline cars.
EVs have instant torque, allowing you to get onto the highway far quicker than an equivalent gas car.
Last but not least, emissions from EVs (from their manufacture and from their energy sources) are significantly less than that of gasoline cars, even in states that produce most of their power from coal, according to a two year study by the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Little boy rosie cheeks is blushing from his own ignorance
Politicians who vote on bills should have to 100% follow that bill themselves. They frequently make sure those laws do not apply to them. How the heck is that acceptable?

This pretty much explains why we can't go all EV right now:
1) EVs are expensive.
2) The gris is not sufficient.
3) EV batteries have limited range.
Those are not only factored into this push but a primary focus. 'They" don't want you to own an EV, the grid can't support it & the limited range falls in the middle of 15 minute cities & the gov't need to limit your travel. No private EV means to rent a public share EV with a gov't app that you need premission to use & answer the questions of where your going, with who, for how long etc. The purpose of these EV's is to stifle our freedoms not 'save the planet". Look at the mining needs for the batteries & their life expectancies / disposal costs, suddenly it makes more sense what they're pushing
1) Semi true but that implies all luxury cars above 40k are expensive and it doesn’t stop people from buying them
2) The GRID is outdated and needs to be fixed (which they are working on)
3) EVs nowadays get about 300miles of range. 99.9% of the time, people use far less than this with the occasional trip further. These are terrible talking points
Regarding subsidies, the oil and gas industry is also subsidized. But we won’t talk about that.

Lol it's bootyjuice. Biden said so himself.
Cell phones, cars, and computers started the exact same way. They were expensive at first, then as the technology advances, everyone has one. It always starts this way. When we adapted cars, people who maintained horses lost their jobs too. But we kept going for a better future, and it works every time. Conservatives always spread fear around change. Don't fall for it.
Little Pete can really hit those high notes WOW
Watching this conversation was like an intelligent adult, the Congressman, trying to get an honest answer from a child who just got caught stealing money out of their fathers wallet. He cannot get out of trouble, but trying to convince them there was a reason for doing it.
whomever wrote "screaming" match has NEVER seen/heard/been involved in one.
Why can't they just put both EVs and ICE on the lots and let the consumers decide what they want to drive
Because consumers might make the "wrong" choice and choose the car that the government doesn't want them to choose; we certainly can't have THAT. . .
I agree and without any financial incentives for buying an EV. It would also help to bring the price of gas to what it was in 2019 to really see how the EV's do not sell as much.
Never think a guy who thinks it's a good idea to take it up the tailpipe by another man is sane. He can never tell me or adviser me of a damn thing.
Here's some shit Pete knows that you apparently don't:
The electricity required to drive 15,000 miles per year in a compact electric vehicle costs an average of $546, while the amount of gas required to drive the same distance costs $1,255 (or 130%) more in an equivalent size gas car, according to AAA. (See TRUE COST of ELECTRIC VEHICLES)
Electric cars cost $330 per year less in maintenance, according to AAA, or $3300 less over ten years.
The average owner can save up to $6000 over an EV's lifespan, according to Consumer Reports.
According to Autoinsurance EZ, using figures from the National Transportation Safety Board, EVs are 10 times LESS LIKELY to experience a fire than a gasoline car.
EVs' rollover rate is significantly lower than gasoline cars, due to the heavy battery's low center of gravity. It's part of the reason EVs have a 40% LESS death and injury rate than equivalent gasoline cars.
EVs front end crash test results place them with the very safest luxury gasoline cars.
Tax credits up to $7500.
EVs have instant torque, allowing you to get onto the highway far quicker than an equivalent gas car.
EVs cost more upfront but save money in the long run. However, EVs should reach price parity with gas cars as the industry continues to scale up. In China, EVs are already cheaper than gasoline cars.
Pete taking it up the ass is completely irrelevant. The question you should be asking is, does he know his shit? The answer is, clearly, yes.
@@swiftlytiltingplanet8481 how many do you own,,,and i say you and pete are lovers
@@tomstiel7576 So in other words, you were unable to refute a single fact I posted. Got it.
@@swiftlytiltingplanet8481 you and pete ????
@@swiftlytiltingplanet8481 those aren't facts,,,just beliefs,,,,I will clear this up for you,,,get in your electric car...,I in a gas fueled car,,and we head across country,,,who do you think is getting there in half the time??? Not taking fudgepackin petes word for anything,,,he is NOT qualified to tell anyone about anything,,,PERIOD,,,,,,,,have a good day,,,unless you made other plans
I'm guessing that when Pete showed up to this hearing, he was dropped off at the curb by a big black gasoline powered Suburban or Tahoe. Just a guess.
Pete is the example of someone pluging your cord in the wrong receptacle
Blackrocks stock manipulation of the auto industry !
Thank you Scott Perry!! BUTTIGIEG NEEDS TO GET SCHOOLED ON HOW REALITY WORKS!!
I wish they would of asked the secretary how is the average American making 15.00 to 20.00 an hr going to afford a EV at the cost of 60,000. Dollars each and that the low end of ev's. I would like to hear that answer.
@@nancyhewitt858
Why are you thinking of the "today" only? EV gets cheaper and cheaper and eventually it will be cheaper to buy and own an equivalent EV than a vehicle which relies on hydrocarbons. Also the cheapest EV costs 27,5k at the moment. At least in the USA. In other countries it's cheaper. I could buy an EV in Germany for 15,5k€, which is ~16,4k USD. And of course then there's also the used marked. The cheapest used EVs are around 4k€ (~4200 USD).
Pete is a child
These elites are so arrogant and smug!
Yes, and they are so deluded that they think they control us and are our bosses.
You are investing our money into things we don’t want … such a powerful line.
Um, lots of us want EVs. I get really tired of people like Perry assuming that we're all a bunch of backward bozos who don't want to move forward into a future that gives us a chance to avoid the worst effects of global warming.
And there is no reason why auto manufacturers should be fighting this transition because it absolutely is the case that either we build these cars, or we get left behind when China builds them. And then they will indeed lose all of these manufacturing jobs - to China.
@@hoosiermama8738 the only place EVs work on wide scale is fantasy land
If the American consumer can't afford to buy new cars, maybe the big Three manufacturers should make their cars more efficiently and pay their chief executives less money.
What a wonderful idea!!!
That's why I drive a Toyota. It's got well over 200,000 miles and purrs like a kitten. Toyota is NOT going E.V. as their main product. They don't need to. Their cars are exceptionally engineered.
@@timwhite5647 Mr. Toyoda, not a linguini-spined executive, has stated that his company will build vehuicles suited for the needs and demands of buyers in ALL markets. Said another way, the African who totes jerrycans of water down a dirt track will continue to be able to buy a small gas-powered car. The American woman with a postgrad degree from an expensive university will be able to buy her luxury EV. And the rest of us will have a range of ICE and hybrid cars and trucks from which to choose. Back before Tenwatt Buttgiggles and his kind took over "central planning", Mr. Toyoda's approach was called good strategic, market-driven thinking.
