US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is facing a new wave of criticism for waving off soaring gas prices by giving a solution to Americans: buy an electric vehicle.
Appearing on MSNBC on Sunday, Buttigieg talked up some of the specifics of the Build Back Better Bill, including a “discount” provided to Americans if they choose to buy an electric vehicle.
“It contains incentives to make it more affordable to buy an electric vehicle, up to a $12,500 discount in effect for families thinking about getting an EV,” Buttigieg said. The transportation secretary and former mayor has promoted electric vehicles in the past, claiming they are the best travel option for both rural and urban areas.
Once a family owns an electric vehicle, Buttigieg said, they “will never have to worry about gas prices again.”
