Donald Trump Goes on Bizarre Rant Against Electric Cars

Donald Trump went on a rant about electric cars over the weekend in order to get the attention of a group of die hard fans in Pennsylvania.

His conclusion was odd. We should get rid of this stuff because there's not enough charging infrastructure.

It's odd that large swathes of the United States still see the electric car as a pointless and expensive replacement of the gas-guzzling automobile, even if that outlook seems increasingly dated in the era ofTesla.

It didn't make sense for Trump to say that. He told the audience that gas prices were much lower during his time in office. If the electric car serves as a cheaper alternative, why undermine it?

The fact that the US is a global leader when it comes to manufacturing EV is something that should fall under Trump's efforts to save America.

Trump used his time behind the microphone to tell a story about a friend who had to stop during a road trip to charge his car.

The "friend" was only getting 38 miles per gallon, which is half of the most efficient EV on the market.

EV charging infrastructure isn't where it needs to be. outdated technology only offers a small amount of electricity.

The solution is to invest in infrastructure, something that the Biden administration is pushing for.

It's counter-productive and a huge waste of time to call for the abolition of electric cars.

Musk called for Trump to "hang up his hat and sail into the sunset" and argued he was too old to run again in 2020.

Attempting to understand Trump's thoughts is probably not a good idea.

If the last couple of years have shown anything, it's that EV are almost certainly here to stay, so why not try to fill any gaps in the infrastructure? Even if the tech hasn't made it to all of the country, it's still there.

Trump was a fervent supporter.

He said during a 2020 presidential debate that he was okay with electric cars as well. I'm in favor of electric cars. Huge incentives have been given for electric cars. The things they have done in California is insane.

The former President told his supporters that it was time to get rid of electric cars.
