Democrats Don’t Want You To Know How Much Fossil Fuel It Takes To Power Electric Cars
Dems Don't Want You To Know How Much Fossil Fuel Electric Cars Use
Democrats are telling Americans electric cars are good for the environment, knowing their charging stations are not fossil fuel free.

Amid inflationary U.S. federal spending, restrictions on domestic oil production, and the current Russia-Ukraine conflict, millions of Americans are suffering the consequences of the Biden administration’s dysfunction at the gas pump.
Instead of investing in American energy, Democrats are actively suppressing the American energy industry and then telling Americans to spend their savings on overpriced electric cars to solve their problems. But the left isn’t being honest about the environmental and financial costs of those trendy electric vehicles.
Last Thursday, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky took to Twitter to remind Americans that these cars are not as environmentally friendly as Democrats insist they are.

In reality, one of Tesla’s Supercharger stations was reported to get 13 percent of their energy from natural gas and 27 percent from coal. Power plants burn coal to generate electricity to power electric cars and emit a higher fossil fuel footprint than the left would care to admit.

As The Federalist’s Tristan Justice reported in August, Biden’s electric vehicle plan “is a big win for Beijing.” Despite our capability to become independent and profit from American-made energy, Biden has no plans to trump China’s mass energy production, even as China continues to flaunt the rigid “green” standards that hold our own producers back.
As long as the United States continues to outsource production and jobs to China, it will be hardworking Americans who suffer the economic consequences of our energy dependence.
Commentary:
Elon Musk has already said that if the US wants to go all EVs, America will have to double the electrical grid -fossil fuel power plants, transmission lines, etc. That won't happen.. Therefore, Green Power advocates know this and never intend for us to have enough power to run our EVs whenever or wherever we want - freedom. Usage of our EVs may depend on our SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE, allocated times for city blocks to have power to charge vehicles or even other controls we cannot yet imagine.
The best EV's are limited to a 350-mile range. Extreme temperature affects the efficiency and range. Recharging you EV on the 500 mile or greater trip can turn out to be problematic. A fully drained battery system can take up to 13 hours.
"Electric vehicles on average consume about 15 percent more energy per mile when they're driven in an extreme weather region like Phoenix or Minneapolis … that means if they're consuming more energy that they will have a lower range," explained Michalek.
