Energy Secretary who's a big fan of EVs asks 'how does this work' when trying to plug one in

U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has had a heck of a time in the Biden administration so far. Granholm has been helpful enough to advise Americans who are struggling to afford gas that they should just drop $50,000 or more on an electric car and their problem would be solved. The former Michigan governor late last year also seemed to find plenty of humor in a question about the Biden administration’s plan to bring gas prices down.

In December Granholm and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg tweeted that they were hitting the road in an EV:

Last month, Granholm talked about her electric car that “drives on sunshine.”

Perhaps Granholm never had to plug those cars in because she had a little trouble doing just that during a photo op today:

Did Granholm then stand there for an hour while it charged? After all, she should know how this works:

hold up…

For some reason we’re just guessing there are a number of people in this administration who wildly exaggerate their “green” cred (just based on the number of times they’ve been spotted being hypocrites on any other number of issues in the past).
