"Clean transportation can bring significant cost savings for the American people as well," Buttigieg said.
He added that $5 billion have been invested into building a nationwide electric vehicle charging network "so that people from rural, to suburban, to urban communities, can all benefit, from the gas savings of driving an (electric vehicle)."
"Today is about how we can deliver cleaner air, a better climate, affordable transportation, and good jobs all at once," Buttigieg said.
Experts have previously told Fox Business that the White House’s grand ambition to expand charging stations for electric vehicles will not help the areas that need it most.
The Honorable Jason Isaac, director of Life:Powered at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, told FOX Business last month the Biden administrator’s initiative was "more of the government trying to pick winners and losers."
"[W]hen they do that, as we’ve seen first-hand here in Texas with our electric grid, the American people end up the losers regardless of any subsidies or dollars that are being pushed."
Ryan Sitton, a former Texas energy regulator and founder and CEO of Pinnacle Reliability, previously told FOX Business that EV adoption would likely impose a roughly 30% increase in demand on the national grid, while Tesla CEO Elon Musk told Reuters it would double total global demand for electricity.

Bunch of dumba****.
Don’t believe him. The pale face speaks with Di** Breath.
Buttplug is one ugly prom queen for sure.
In the year 2525.
Where does dumb dumb think electricity comes from...Most comes from fossil fuels.
Don’t worry - those are mostly-peaceful explosions.
Buttigeig, you jackass. I can’t bring my pole saw and other equipment to my jobsite on a bus.
Mayor Pete is a card reader. The WEF tells him and O’Biden what to say and do ... and they say and do it.
Another $5 billion gone right to their friends pockets and polluting the landscape with charging stations
All true.
Can we please spend some of the “infrastructure” on something that might have some lasting value? My short list . . .
1. Protect the energy grid from
a. cyber attack
b. EMP attack
2. Provide widespread storage of pressurized hydrogen at existing service stations for fuel-cell electric cars (FCEV)
3. Complete the border wall
I could go on . . . .
Pete’s only experience with transportation is his frequent travels on the Hershey Highway.
“I hate this “save the environment” crap.”
Specifically marketed ... “Karens” by the millions and certain types of males just love this stuff and want to do their part.
I wish they’d quit saving me all this money, I really can’t afford it. Maybe I could get me one of them shovel ready jobs Obama was talking about.

Of course, Snopes says this story is “FALSE” despite there being the video there in their link. :-/
They’ll make sure some places have no charging stations so no one can go there
He is as full of BS as a Bandini factory.
Sure, give me one for free and have the charger installed at my home. Other than that, nope.
