Ed Markey informs Americans that 'there's no reason why you have to pay $4 or $5 a gallon for gasoline when you can have an all-electric vehicle'

Axios breathlessly reported earlier today that the national average price for a gallon of regular gas has plummeted to a miniscule $3.990, which is officially below the “psychological barrier of $4.”

That’s great and all, but just imagine how much lower the national average price for a gallon of regular gas could be if nobody needed gas anymore because everyone is zipping around in electric vehicles! According to climate-conscious Democratic Sen. Ed Markey, electric vehicles are the key to no longer having to worry about how you’re going to afford gas, whether it’s $3.990, $4.00, $5.00, or whatever the hell it currently costs in California:

It’s only costs 75 cents to operate an electric vehicle! You can drive all over the country for 75 cents! That’s chump change!

And make no mistake: Ed Markey thinks you’re all chumps.

Out of touch elitists trot out the company line. Can’t afford $5 gas? Buy a $60,000 electric vehicle or stop driving. https://t.co/YG6YgKZsWu

That’s pretty much what he’s saying, yes.

We feel like we already know if it’s gonna pay off for them, but let’s just wait and watch it unfold in real time.

Looks like the Dems have settled on their battle call for November https://t.co/998Q68VAXK
