I would like to know the research on the cancer-causing elements that are in those electric car batteries
Excellent point 👉!! It doesn't fit the narrative, just like monkey pox it just magically went away!!!!!😊
Are there any?
The untrustworthy Lithium batteries that explode for no apparent reason, burning green flames ?
@@bevor1785 Well Donkey Pox and TDS certainly didn't go away, they're incurable and irreversible
@@funfact8660 You guys don't have any answers for me, got it.
Pete knows how to sling the bullshit that’s for sure.
He's talking about processes. That's how government works.
@@thewaffle003
Talks a good game but is clueless on how it's supposed to work especially when it won't!
@@myvws2 You are small.
He answered each and every question succinctly and intelligently, where does the BS come in?
@@myvws2 Where did he appear clueless?
LITTLE PETTIE IS ALFRED E NEWMAN AND IS GOOD AT TALKING IN CIRCLES, AVOIDING ANSWERING QUESTIONS. .A MAYOR FROM SOUTH BEND INDIANA IN CHARGE OF 55 BUSES..NOW HE IS TRANSPORTAION CZAR
When all those gas cars are off the road who is going to cover all the lost road tax money in those billions of gals. of gas not being sold?Electric cars are much heaver then gas cars ,causing more stress on hiways,more repairs.More money!Get rid of Buttiguice.
Don't worry they will add a tax . They never miss a chance to take our money.
its never going to happen. these people are just smoke and mirrors, grossly incompetent. we will still be driving ICE vehicles 40 years from now
That tax will be put on everyone's electric bill, we will pay even if we don't own a EV, which we won't own one, because insurance will either be too expensive or they won't insure it. We don't have enough power to charge all EVs, people don't understand how much goes into building and maintaining nuclear power plants (I'm a Boilermaker who does this for a living), my entire family has worked in both auto and power plants their whole lives. This is a giant expensive turd experiment. I'm wondering how we are going to create enough power for the millions of illegal invading army that just busted in, we are already experiencing brown outs...people aren't going to like the black outs that are on the way.
Trucks cause the most wear on the highways zippy.
@brianstansfield4367 EVs are hard on the road too. Why divert?
So where do you dump the used batteries once they die and what's your plans for all the gas powered cars
Dump them in a landfill
In 2011 we had record high temperatures where I live and for years after that temperatures were lower. If the planet is warming it would get hotter every year.
Exactly, these Climate Change Activists do not realize that to change the Climate Stop Cutting all the Trees down and build on the land that you have already cleared. He keeps saying using funds that Congress is providing! Yet what he is leaving out is Congress is providing US Tax Dollars that they are raising every time you turn around. And I don’t see where any Americans are paying less for gas when GAS prices keep going up and will continue to go up with Biden killing all Oil Drilling in Alaska now. It’s time for all these Dems to get voted out.
😂Yeah right! Do some research! Windmills are the worse!
@@kathrynbrandon5212yes windmills and solar farms are ridiculous. Now let's talk about how your answer has no relationship to the question that was asked.
Over multiple years, it DOES get hotter. Sometimes there are outliers. That's just science.
@@thewaffle003 that's not science. That's your opinion.
What you aren't paying for gas at the pump you are paying for gas to generate the electricity to charge your electric vehicle. Its like they forget that electricity is not generated out of thin air.
It's cheaper when you pay through the electricity.
@@thewaffle003 Only if you charge at home and the ROI only starts after the savings have offset the cost of the charger/installation so for the average consumer that owns a home and can add a charger it takes about a year for the savings to kick in.
I will bet there will be a higher electric tax put in place and it will likely cost more to charge a vehicle than it would to run on gasoline.
@@rustychain9518 That's actually super false in most cases which you can easily find out by typing "How much does it cost to charge an ev in 2023?" in the RUclips search bar.
You also don't need to install a super charger at home to charge your car (adapters exist).
It is simply cheaper to charge an ev than fill a gas car.
@@LJA46 I see that you're saying the government is bad. Maybe you should stop voting Republican.
The more l hear from Pete the less I trust him.
He answered each and every question succinctly and intelligently. That must terrify you.
Yeah, it's hard to believe a person who is articulate and intelligent. Many can only trust the orange guy who speaks like a six year old.
@@brianstansfield4367 Bro whatever you're smoking...are you serious? This guy is clueless.
Must be that smirk
@youutoo8678 Nope.
This guy needs to get out
“Thanks for the question”, Lies that consumers will save money, redistributes wealth to the government away from workers
They aren't lies. People DO save on more efficient vehicles. Don't pretend you're too st**id to see that, bud, you're better than that.
The politicians are more than likely buying stock so that's the push for going ev
💯🎯 BINGO!
@@myvws2 Nope.
I forgot to mention that this will cost 200 trillion dollars!😂
If your low income how you gonna afford one
Prices will come down as they become more mainstream. Batteries are 1/10th of what they cost 20 years ago because of government investment.
@thewaffle003 have you bought a car battery lately pretty expensive but I hear ya if ya believe in this climate change I don't just when season changes
@@davidtucker99 I hear ya David. Tell ya what, in 20 years (and probably less than that, more like 7 or 8) the average EV will be much cheaper and you'll probably be able to get one yourself if you want one. And in about that same time you're gonna start to be sure that climate change IS happening, mark my words. Even the government can't kill your animal instincts, my man, and you're gonna start to FEEL it in your skin that it's getting hotter.
Naw they don't go far on pulling trailers food for thought this heat is caused by all the roads the solar farms all the buildings being built when the sun hits all that it heats up all the emissions from cars the trees turn that into oxygen so all this stuff bout high emissions an climate change in my opinion now is hogwash that's just my opinion now so far we had good conversation not trying to offend
@@thewaffle003
Now that I can believe they'll be cheap because no one will be buying them because they'll no longer be made!
I spent $1000 to fix a broken electric cable in my combustion engine car just so the car would shift to drive from park. Imagine all the electric costs that goes to the electric cars. How do you measure CO2?
Electric battery replacement for a Tesla is 20,000 plus labor. Shheeeez
CO2 is measured by bs.
😲
Carbon dioxide is typically measured using nondispersive infrared (NDIR) or electrochemical technology. Improvements to NDIR-based carbon dioxide sensors have made it the most common solution for measuring CO2 concentrations with better accuracy across extremely wide ranges up to 100% volume. See how easy it is to use that internet thing to find out accurate answers?
@@brianstansfield4367 So if I'm reading this correctly, the invisible air in our whole atmosphere can be measured using NDIR 100% accuracy? hmmm...sounds like this is another lie that people who talk with big words do all the time. The internet also lies. It's a way to get money from people who actually work to pay for controlling others.
People can't afford these EV'S WAGES ARE TO LOW .SELL THEM TO THE ILLEGALS
Surprised they are not giving an EV to each illegal alien that crosses the boarder.
Batteries cost a tenth of what they did 20 years ago because government invested in them. EVs will come down in price over time.
@thewaffle003 go buy one but I won't be forced to.
@@davidlindsey1545 You won't, you're right.
Oh they (illegals) will probably get a free one
We love John James! So great seeing him at work!
He is a war monger
Mayor Pete answered each and every question succinctly and intelligently. James did not "rip into him", he did ask pointed, intelligent questions, his remarks on Biden's "unrealistic projections" aside.
@@brianstansfield4367 you sound boosted for monkeypox
@@robertmonaghan9851 Wow. What a fine argument you make zippy. Did you strain yourself coming up with that? Idiots insult without making a cogent argument.
@@brianstansfield4367 😭😭😭😭😭
Well you guys should pay for the whole entire thing not the landlords
The climate has been changing since the beginning of the planet. Desert areas, were once lush rainforests. Sea levels used to be hundreds of feet higher than today. The earth has been through several ice ages. All of this happened before man burned fossil fuels.
It's happening faster now than it ever has before. By a lot.
@@thewaffle003 Or maybe is this is how it's suppossd to be? These people are panicking because their coastial mega cities and vacation spots are at risk.
@@ExeErdna People are concerned because if we don't manage our impact on climate, we are going to seriously screw ourselves. It's already happening, and it's only going to ramp up from here. It's not fake news, it's facts. The biggest money convincing you one way or the other is behind big oil, which is literally doing all it can to tell people exactly what you're saying: "IT'S ALL LIES! NOTHING WE CAN DO HERE FOLKS!!!"
You're wrong, and they are too.
also several feet lower
And now burning fossil fuels is behind the current climate change.
Pete not having a good day
Do not buy EVs they are crap and when you have to get one fixed it’s going to cost you half what the car is worth. The battery’s are 20,000 plus labor to replace. Beware !!
He needs to be removed!!!
No he doesn't.
Too much ridiculous government regulation and no accountability...
You're a shill for multibillion dollar companies. Yikes.
@@thewaffle003
You sure have the hots for Petey don't you.....
PB just loves talking over everybody.
Makes him feel like a real man!😂
Buttpirate was flabbergasted
Nope.
@@thewaffle003 still playing with , doing pathetic defence, and cheerleader for that Poopdecker Pete ?
@@funfact8660
Petey likes to get 💩😑!! 🤣
My question is why is government involved in electric cars?
Apartment building with 100 units, 2/3 of residents forced into EVs…67 EV’s needing to plug their cars in. This is insanity.
And what about the people who live in areas where it's street parking? I used to live in an apartment where it was no permit street parking. So you just have to find a spot. I guess those people will be screwed?
@@lampiecue Yup. It's not just apartment dwellers. Most condo units and many townhomes have street parking.
@@steadyeddie7453 it's insanity. The cost of an EV is enormous, then to charge you have to find a station which is typically far away from where you live, and states enforcing it like California limit hours when you can use the stations. On top of that, EVs aren't an end solution because they create a lot of toxic e-waste. I don't understand the push. Just because they don't have exhaust pipes doesn't mean they don't pollute. People are getting rich off of this.
To charge two at a time at home,you need 400amp service
Mayor Pete addressed that. Maybe pay attention to what is said next time.
What did Joe Biden call Pete?
Butt buddy
Booty Juice 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Higher electricity costs and then some sort of added tax to pay for the roads
Hilarious to watch someone bought and paid for justify their position. Private jet Pete. No rules for me, only you
HAHAHAHAHA! He addressed the private flights zippy, under a different line of questioning. He pulled out the stats that shows 97% of his flights were commercial. Now, ask yourself about your fuhrer's flights on his private jet.
I personally think EV's should pay for ALL the infrastructure. Only makes sense since they are dirtier than gas.
These scumbags all work together. Hmm...how can we be sure our roads and bridges can be fixed if we aren't collecting as much gas tax revenue? I don't know, let me think, I got it, a driver tax based on miles.
How pathetic the cost always falls on tax payers 🤑💰💰💵💵
That's... how that works, lol.
sir and butt#### should not be used in the same sentence or without lube
Buttigieg has got to be the creepiest person in government. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about
he knows what's he's doing, he's creepy because the "rat" in him is very visible
He answered each and every question succinctly and intelligently. It seems as if you have no idea what you're talking about zippy.
I know wym, he sounds like Patrick Bateman saying what rich people wanna hear
He keeps saying 13mph for gas yet evs only get 10miles per kilowat😂😂
LITTLE BOY PETE GOT TO GO!!! YOUR FIRED!! YOU WEASEL…
Relax.
we are being directed by a man who tries to breast feed his adopted baby. sounds legit
Was it his shirt that was open or another piece of garment! 🤢
Is Alfred E. Neuman aware of the how much additional load would be placed on the electric grid if ev's become the main vehicle driven in America?
Don't worry they are working on that not caring how much it costs taxpayers.
Taxpayers will pay by raising taxes what's new
There will be millions of vehicles sitting around charging, lost productivity, like sitting around in traffic.
And think about the load that those heavy batteries will tear up the roads.
Poor Pete...he did not expect to have to actually work...He thought he was going to get by on his good looks and sexual orientation.
What good looks ? 😂😂😂😂
He got by on smart and succinct answers.
he did speak well but he has failed on his job from day one. @@thewaffle003
@@triciab7750 False.
What good looks? His must be a hidden beauty, because what I see is not even . . .
Don't worry. A low income family can't afford a vehicle period, let alone an electric one. Whether the charging station is available is completely irrelevant.
The cost of the battery replacement is more than it would of been to fill your car over the years. What is the crash safety?
Put these issues before the PEOPLE! No Zero carbon, NO E.V. VECHICAL. No ban on gas stoves! UNACCEPTABLE
Pay less for gas because we won’t be able to drive. Keep the little people in their place. I can’t afford a used gas car now. How am I expected to buy an electric one in ten yrs?
Love how he doesn't tell where the electricity comes from. Can anyone say Fossil Fuel?
Hey Pete, single family home have the capacity for level one charger. For faster charging time & charger, the single family home owner will be planking about $2500.00. Ignoring hard facts like this demosnstrates a fairy tale touch with EV cars and the resulting networks.
Why aren't they speaking on the health affects of this transition?
We think Americans should pay less for gas but more for electricity! The ignorance is astounding!
No matter what they say, the environment and people will suffer, it takes manufacturing to make batteries, then it takes disposal vehicles to collect and get rid of the used batteries, when the batteries deteriorate back to the main elements that where used to make the batteries, it contaminates the soil. Next with as many cars as the people are using get replaced by electric vehicles, what standards are going to be met to support the electric vehicles, (batteries don't stay good forever), Will our electric grid be able to support them, or are you going to put solar cells on every house in the US for support of the electric vehicles. Next thing we have to look at what about hydrogen cars? Sorry but we are not ready for such a HUGE change at this time, we need more science and less politics.
Try this whole administration for treason
No.
At 0:32, Buttigieg said thanks for the question, as if he has the right answer.
Nice one John.
How is it the Governments job to dictate what a private company does?
Why can’t these politicians be indicted for taking billions of taxpayers dollars for their political supporters.
The power grid CANNOT HANDLE going to EV currently its too fragile!
I had a '79 model car that got 49mpg EPA regulations ended high gas milage vehicles
That was the most civil conversation between a Republican and a Democrat I have seen in a long time and I think you could see which side favoured the boss and which favoured to public
it seemed easy just produce vehicles that didn't break the rules and you would not get the fines. And They would put up the price to pay for the fine if it hit sales
And I think Pete answered all the questions in a fair and honest way that made sense
don't come through Arizona in the summertime inspects to charge your car out in one of these car stations that take 2 hours and not die of a heat stroke😮
We estimate….we estimate……when government estimates a cost…..TRIPLE THAT COST
Pete just lied about past mpg numbers.
I don't want the government dictating what tyoe of motor vehicle they want me to purchase.
I hear that! They don't care though. They want to protect us from climate change or we're all screwed.
Democrats have to also worry about what the electric car will do to the working poor. Or those on public assistance. Many people can only buy used cars. What will people do when used cars are electric and they need new batteries to function, and those batteries cost more than the car? Some battery packs are well over $10,000. What do you do if you have an electric car and want to sell it, but its worth $20,000 and needs a $15,000 battery? Unload a car you just paid off for $5,000 and start making payments on a new car?
What if you don't park in a private drive or garage, where would you charge your car? Will you risk having expensive charging equipment stolen if you park on the street? Many Charging Cables cost $300, will that get stolen for its copper content in your neighborhood? Is it legal to run cords across the sidewalk in your area? Electrification will leave many people without any transportation other than public transport. Maybe that is that the plan?
🎯💯👍 NAILED IT!
UAW workers: Be careful of what you bargain for, you just might get it! These Buttigieg types are looking to put you under their thumbs.
PRAYING
🙏
Great that tax money goes to building charging stations for the RICH.
Electric costs have doubbled how will electric save us money
"Applying the funds provided by congress" for providing charging stations. First of all, the money Congress spends is the taxpayers money. So my money is going towards providing charging stations for the masses across the country? Did I also pay for the gas pumps and the maintenance at gas stations? And how will states recoup the lost tax revenues from the gasoline/diesel fuel tax built in to every gallon of fuel? When we go 67% EV, the demand for gas/fuel will decrease correspondingly. Will EV charging then be taxed to make up for the lost fuel tax revenue?
Will someone please take that smirk off Pete, the young mothers face
EPA needs to be defunded and shut down!
We don’t need exploding batteries or things that people can’t afford to buy. Don’t force us to buy electric vehicles 🚗
66% of all EV's sold are Tesla. Their top selling model, Tesla Y will cost you about $62,000. Also Tesla car insurance is ridiculous expensive due to repair cost.
I never asked for electric cars and I thought the government had to ask the people before they mandate . Silly me
American Combustion Vehicles on American Soil, run on American Oil!
Wouldn't call this being ripped into. Sounds like two adults having a respectful question and answers session
Comply with what law that they make the cars you want them to make get out of here
One cannot assume that all the apartment complexes & condo campuses across the country will be able to have an individual meter station for each household. Look at cost of the station, the construction in digging up the ground, the # of drivers per household, & the sheer # of apartments across the fruited plain.

You have to to talk to Republican politicians.
Changing an electric vehicle cost 35% more to fill up thrn a gas vehicle.

Incorrect.
Did he really say “if those penalty charges are put back onto the consumer”. Really? When do corporations or even small businesses not put increases back on the consumer? Especially when you’re talking about billions of dollars? A 2nd grader could understand this. Unbelievable!
Pete looks very similar to Pewe Herman and acts a lot like him too
Who is paying for these charging stations? Seems to me taxpayers are doing so!
Where does he get this bull about savings with EV's ?
It's not bull. EVs are cheaper to charge than gas cars are to fill.
Not if you add in the time into charging it. 5 min. to fill a tank. Hours and hours of lost drive time equals less productivity.@@thewaffle003

They can stuff their evs. The grid cant even handle them
rips ?????
The market (The People) are not buying EV cars. We can’t afford them, nor do we want them.
Put this hack in jail!
So the industry has saved billions?? He must not be aware of the striking auto workers. Where did that money go??? Some might have gone to the business, but chances are it went to the higher ups as a bonus or salary increase, or better yet wasteful spending; while everyday Americans have
been struggling. Why do you think auto workers are on strike? Duh
How much have we saved???
I'd love to know where all these million/billion dollars lawsuit wins go, for example : where did the money go that the FTC/FCC get from Xbox/Microsoft lawsuit for data mining children. The government won, so do they just keep that money? If so why do they then need tax payers money to run their busines? It sure didn't go to all the children affected or their parents. These government entities are suing huge companies and getting huge wins. Double dipping in the money pond!!
Dude wants everyone to buy an EV -- doesn't even own one.
