this is joe biden on friday october 28th
he gave a speech about his build back
better infrastructure plan and spoke
about the importance of electric
vehicles
first
we face and i know i apologize for
saying this again we face we face an
inflection point as a nation and we're
off to a great start for most of the
20th century we led the world by a
significant margin because we invested
in our people
not only our roads and our highways and
our bridges but in our people
and our families
we didn't just build an interstate
highway system we built a highway to the
sky
we invested to win the space race and we
won not sure what the space race has to
do with investing in people but
whatever joe we'll build out the first
ever national network of 500 000
electric vehicle charging stations all
across the country
no they won't in april 2021 a fact sheet
about plans to advance electric vehicle
charging infrastructure stated the
following
biden's american jobs plan includes a
transformational 15 billion dollar
investment to fund this vision and build
a national network of 500 000 charging
stations however the final version of
the infrastructure bill that biden
signed only allocates 7.5 billion so
even though the biden administration
only got half of the money that they
asked for
they're still going to build out the
same amount of charging stations
yep that's democrat math for you now to
be clear that government isn't building
this national network of charging
stations in fact it's hardly a national
network the federal government is giving
out grants to states and then the states
will shell out this money to private
companies and then those private
companies will build the charging
stations now you might have gotten ahead
of me and figured out that 7.5 billion
dollars divided by 500 000 charging
stations only leaves fifteen thousand
dollars per station
and you might be asking how is 15 grand
going to build a charging station let
alone anything well first it might help
to define what charging station actually
means
look at this image it contains several
chargers
this is probably what you think of when
you hear the term charging station
however a location only containing one
charger that can only charge one vehicle
at a time
can also be designated as a charging
station and it doesn't help that joe
biden compares charging stations to gas
stations
and by the way parenthetically when you
build a charging station it's like back
in the day when my grandpop worked for
the mayoral canal company back in the
tournament in the
1920 in that area they went from state
to state convincing people that they put
allow them to put 20 000 gallons of
gasoline under the ground they didn't
want them around but guess what happened
everything builds up around them so back
in the 1920s or whenever biden's
grandpop worked for a private company
who wanted to build gas stations
what does this have to do with the
federal government giving small grants
to private businesses to build charging
stations the answer not much
brandon just really loves to tell
stories you go all the way across
america on a single tank of gas
figuratively speaking it's not gas
you plug it in
81 million votes guys
now most people will not be traveling
across america
in their electric vehicle but for the
ones that try
it's going to be a very inconvenient
trip
first that car needs to have a long
range and be compatible with direct
current fast charging so that you can
fill up your battery relatively quick so
let's say that you're going on a road
trip in your electric car that has a
range of 250 miles if you average 60
miles an hour on the highway you're
gonna have to pull over and charge your
car's battery well within a four hour
period and then sit there while your
battery recharges which could take up to
an hour to get to an 80 charge and these
charging stations along the highway will
need to have dozens if not hundreds of
chargers at the ready because otherwise
people could have to sit and wait in
line to sit and wait for their car to
charge furthermore direct current fast
chargers can cost as much as 140
thousand dollars and that doesn't
include installation which will cost
anywhere from seventeen thousand to
nearly sixty six thousand per charger
depending on how many are being
installed at once
in other words that fifteen thousand
dollars in government spending per
station is a joke speaking of jokes
here's the former governor of michigan
jennifer granholm let me cut to it if i
may in sturgis michigan
it is 2.80
a gallon i guess that's better than in
california what is the grand home plan
to increase oil production in america
oh my god
that is hilarious and since jennifer
granholm is the current united states
secretary of energy her reaction should
be disqualifying
here's the biden plan i'm here at
glasgow the biden plan is to diversify
and to make sure that we move in a
direction of clean energy where we're
not reliant upon cartels and we're not
reliant upon geopolitical adversaries
who may be um creating choke points for
our ability and our people to be able to
access energies so they want to
diversify but in the meantime we still
need oil and gas because we're not
nor may never be a clean energy economy
and because of their unrealistic energy
policy we're now relying on russia and
opec
our geopolitical adversaries for our
energy supply and that puts our national
security at risk
thanks brandon
during the 2020 campaign joe painted a
very clear picture on what energy policy
would look like in a biden white house
number one no more subsidies for fossil
fuel industry no more drilling on
federal lands no more drilling including
offshore no ability for the oil industry
to continue to drill period ends number
one what about say stopping fracking and
stopping pipeline infrastructure
and so it shouldn't have been a surprise
that the first thing biden did when he
entered office was to sign an executive
order cancelling the keystone xl oil
pipeline and suspend the sale of oil and
gas leases on federal lands lands where
the u.s gets 10 percent of its supply
and even though biden is aggressively
trying to sabotage energy production in
the united states for some reason
everyone is just shocked at the high
price of fuel how did that happen our
gas prices continued to skyrocket in
some areas of california it's more than
five dollars a gallon what we're seeing
here in los angeles is
5.99 a gallon that's for regular
unleaded pump prices up 60 percent in a
year natural gas up 130 percent heating
oil up 59
right now as a country we're spending
600 million dollars more per day on gas
compared to last year and with gas
prices currently at the highest they
have been in years now seems like a
great time for the branded
administration to promote their green
energy agenda you could buy one of these
electric vehicles and never have to
worry about gas prices again so the
problem is that people can barely afford
to buy gasoline and the solution
is to buy a 40 000 electric car
wait a second
oh my god i think he just solved the
energy crisis of course what he isn't
considering is that electric vehicles
are not an option for millions and
millions of americans who don't have a
garage or driveway where they can charge
their vehicle at home especially in
large cities unless he thinks that
people are just going to take extension
cords and hang them out of their windows
or something i don't know and the cost
of charging your car at public charging
stations will rise and fall depending on
the state of the economy the location
the overhead involved in maintaining the
chargers and of course the price of
electricity itself
but none of that matters because the
biden administration is all in on
electric vehicles in august 2021 biden
signed an executive order that sets a
non-binding goal that by 2030 new
passenger cars and light trucks will be
zero emission vehicles
and the build back better scam which is
currently held up in congress offers
incentives to electric car buyers
you think about what it would mean to
american families who are looking at
these electric vehicles coming on the
market to get that discount of up to
twelve thousand five hundred dollars
this is misleading because you're not
getting a discount you're getting a tax
credit
maybe the way the tax credit would work
is as follows you would get seventy five
hundred dollars back for the purchase of
your electric vehicle if the battery is
made in the us you get five hundred
dollars back if the vehicle is union
made here in the us you get an
additional 4 500 back and that last bit
about being union made is the most
controversial congressman dan kildee and
senator debbie stabenow wrote that
provision in collaboration with the
united states auto workers union and
general motors because they like joe
biden are in bed with the unions
and dan and debbie are responsible for
the additional tax credit of 4 500
for union-made vehicles and that means
if you buy an electric vehicle from
tesla which is made here right in
america but is not a union shop you
won't get that 4 500 credit because it's
not about saving the environment it's
about joe biden cow towing to the unions
and making it political biden held this
uh ev summit
um
didn't invite tesla invited um
gm ford chrysler and uaw
didn't mention tesla once and praised
german ford for leading the ev
revolution
and the meme lord has a point tesla an
american company currently dominates the
ev market according to experian
automotive from january to june 2021
tesla vehicles made up 66.3 percent of
all new electric vehicle registrations
in the united states
it's not the friendliest administration
it seems to be controlled by the unions
so i like now yes seems to be
and finally joe biden while touting the
so-called benefits of buying electric
vehicles under his build back better
plan gets basic facts wrong about the
tax rebates new loans and new tax
credits creating new purchase incentives
for consumers to buy american-made
union-made clean vehicles
like the electric hummer fact check
false brandon the build back better bill
contains a manufacturer's suggested
retail price limitation the purchase
price of the 2023 hummer ev pickup and
suv is estimated to cost 100 000
the msrp limitation in the bill is 69
000 for suvs and seventy four thousand
dollars for pickups therefore a one
hundred thousand dollar hummer is not
eligible for a federal rebate of any
kind and of course he got it wrong he
gets everything wrong and he can make
outrageous claims about receiving tax
credits on a luxury electric vehicle
that no one actually needs and no one in
the media bothers to question it
because of course not
anyway that's it for now please like
share and be sure that you're still
subscribed to the channel don't forget
to check out my let's go brandon merch
