When Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm set out on a four-day electric-vehicle road trip this summer, she knew charging might be a challenge. But she probably didn't expect anyone to call the cops.
Granholm's trip through the southeast, from Charlotte, N.C., to Memphis, Tenn., was intended to draw attention to the billions of dollars the White House is pouring into green energy and clean cars. The administration's ambitious energy agenda, if successful, could significantly cut U.S. emissions and reshape Americans' lives in fundamental ways, including by putting many more people in electric vehicles.
Granholm approaches a charging station to charge the Cadillac Lyriq she was riding during a four-day road trip through the southeast early this summer. The electric vehicle had charging problems due to an "isolated hardware issue," Cadillac says. But Granholm's team encountered plenty of not-so-isolated problems too.
On town hall stops along her road trip, Granholm made a passionate, optimistic case for this transition. She often put up a photo of New York City in 1900, full of horses and carriages, with a single car. Then another slide: "Thirteen years later, same street. All these cars. Can you spot the horse?"
One horse was in the frame.

Everyone, go immediately to buy yourself an EV so you too can join in the fun!

I keep seeing these campaign ads about how Joe Biden (and Ford) are so great with electric vehicles.
They say these campaign ads are paid for by a .GOV account.
Why?
Electric cars are being pushed so that everyone will be happier and less bothered in their 15 minute cities.
This is from NPR?
From the article:
"Her advance team realized there weren't going to be enough plugs to go around. One of the station's four chargers was broken, and others were occupied. So an Energy Department staffer tried parking a
nonelectric vehicle by one of those working chargers to reserve a spot for the approaching secretary of energy."
“This is from NPR?”
Yep indeed it is. Apparently someone didn’t enjoy their EV trip with the EV-pushing Secretary of Energy.
This article must have been written immediately upon their return.
When Granholm called for a tow truck....

Virtue signaling for the rich and bureaucrats, requiring a second car with an ability to travel distances. People used to take the Amtrak auto train for convenience, not as their tow vehicle.
This ain’t gonna work. But in the meantime the powers that be will make us poor and miserable.
Should have planned her trip around Buc’ees locations. Each store has at least a dozen charging stations.
Cool. EV’s come with an ‘advance team’ to save charging spaces for you? That’s a great feature! I’ll take two!!!
🙄
What will it take for the auto makers to tell these Marxists to FO?
Progressive commies - always going backwards.
“The administration’s ambitious energy agenda, if successful, could significantly cut U.S. emissions and reshape Americans’ lives in fundamental ways...”
Obviously written by a STEM hopeful that failed EE 101 in a big big way.
I despise these Leftist jackasses. From every stupid bedsheet stain at NPR all the way up to Biden, and stopping at the dimwit Gramholm along the way.
And they all get plenty of help from the spineless politicians on our side who won’t speak out, when they aren’t actively supporting the Leftist agenda.
Finding a charging station on your road trip is easy as long as you stay on interstates and in big cities. Get away from these and you may be in trouble.
It’s like “buy this crap, it’s good for you even though it’s crap.”
