Buttigieg Brags About Charging EV at His House: ‘Obviously I Can’t Do that with Gas’

EXCERPT:

BUTTIGIEG: “Now, today’s electric grid can handle today’s electric vehicles, but you’re right. We can’t run tomorrow’s vehicles, or frankly, tomorrow’s economy on today’s grid or yesterday’s grid, that’s why it’s got to be upgraded. Now, at the end of the day, if we can get that right as a country, that’s going to leave us better off. There are more ways to move electricity than there are to move electric — than there are to move liquid fuel. That’s why my house in Michigan, I can fill our hybrid plug-in electric with a little electricity. Obviously, I can’t do that with gas at my house. So, in the long run, we’re definitely better off, but absolutely agree that we’re going to have to put a lot of work into upgrading that grid. And, of course, I’m very excited about the good-paying jobs for electrical workers that will come with that work that our administration is funding.”
