Two things: Whenever President Joe Biden says, “You think I’m joking,” he’s probably lying. And second, we don’t care to take advice from Biden. He’s the guy who urged every American to buy a shotgun instead of an AR-15 and fire it blindly through the front door if they think there are intruders out there. That’s his idea of gun control. Oh, and police should be trained to shoot attackers in the leg. He’s brilliant.
We’re not sure what Biden was supposed to be talking about today before his big “democracy is at risk” speech, but he got on the subject of electric cars, and was pretty excited that during a power outage, you could run the lights in your house off of your car.

Why does he always feel the need to clarify that he’s not joking?
— Ethan Corder (@eactheology) November 2, 2022
Actually, I’m afraid he’s NOT joking.

What happens when your car battery dies?
— SaltyVets'Wife 🍊🇺🇸 (@saltyvetwife) November 2, 2022
Your car battery is going to die.
And when the battery on the car goes dead, what happens? Maybe charge it with a gas-powered generator???

That makes the additional $20-30K cost of the electric vehicles worth it. Being able to "light up" your house. When it loses power in a storm. Once every 10 years.

Somebody must have shown him the Ford F-150 Lightning commercial that shows this exact scenario and maybe he thinks every EV can do it…

The Ford F-150 Lightning can do it …
For about 25 seconds.

I have a generator and it didn't cost $80k.
— ILUBosco (@BoscoIlu) November 2, 2022
But your generator runs on fossil fuel unlike the electric car which is charged by a power grid predominantly fueled by, (checks notes)….eh nevermind.

Which I guess is cool until you can't go to work in the morning because you drained your car battery. Or, instead of $60k car, you can get a $300 generator and power your house and still drive to work in the morning.

That little tidbit will change my vote Nov 8. Said no one EVER.

At best, some of the electric pickup trucks have household outlets, so you could plug something in. You can't just power your house. If you could, it wouldn't last long.

Joking? No, I don't think you're joking. I think you're quire serious. That terrifies me.

Brandon doesn’t even know there are generators for that. Till this day, idk how he got 81 million votes.
