Overall car sales haven't recovered from 2020. Looking at past economic disasters (1990, 2008), it takes about 8 years for sales to recover fully. Compared to 2014, EV sales have been taking a larger and larger amount of the automobile market.

Every time someone mentions subsidies for EV's it's very important to mention the subsidies given to fossil fuel companies. Each year the US government is giving hundreds of billions in subsidies to fossil fuel companies, which make a non-sense of any complaints of the much smaller subsidies given to EV sales.
The way Mr. Perry was trying to frame it, you'd think an IRS agent would go up to your door, put a gun to your head, take you to a local car dealer, and force you to drive off in an EV. Glad Mr. Buttigieg gave him some factual information despite Mr. Perry's attempts to repeatedly interrupt him. And EV's will work for more people if they would just give them a serious consideration, and start building out more reliable public charging infrastructure.
Stop letting them hide behind the word “subsides” which sounds like monies being given to a person. These particular subsides are tax incentives, all they are doing is let you earn $7500 without having to pay taxes on it. Lord forbid an average American citizen gets a tax break on a measly $7509 when there are alleged Billionaires who only pay $750 A YEAR in taxes. Where is their disgust for those behaviors?

As far as I can tell, the position of Republicans is that the US is a backwards and technologically incapable country and so we shouldn’t even try to keep up with energy advancements
I'm on my 3rd EV, nobody held me at gunpoint to buy any of them. Nobody is forcing anyone else to buy one either. You can barely say they incentivize them as well given as not many apply for the subsidies.

I'm not ever going to a gas car again, until I can afford a proper track car, that is.

Please expand this conversation to include all topics related to BEVs. Long form. Let’s get all of the information out there so people can make up their own minds.
While both sectors receive substantial government support, the monetary scale of subsidies for the fossil fuel industry far exceeds that for EVs. Fossil fuel subsidies are higher both in direct terms and when accounting for externalities. EV subsidies, though lower in monetary terms, are aligned with long-term climate and sustainability goals.
All around the world... where EV are available.. there sales are growing. What is this nonsense about including or excluding government sales? When Pepsico and Walmart are putting in effort to electrify their delivery fleet .... the simple question is, "What do these mega capitalistic companies that rely heavily on transport know that we don't know?".... they know the same as a yet even bigger transport company, FedEx... who completed electrifying their fleet.
Rick Perry is chairman of the board to Energy Transfer Partners, the energy company that made over $2 billion while Texans froze to death in their homes. Just so we all know where his values lie.
Proper handling. End the dead end conversation and call out all the fear mongering misinformation. Hard to move forward in a constructive manner when starting with a base of falsehoods (common these days) Come back when we’re at least on the right page. Well done secretary
America had EVs on almost every road in almost every city. They were called trams. They were torn up on the false promise that automobiles could replace them -- they couldn't. Instead, to accommodate cars, every city has since been repeatedly bisected by ever-expanding highways, and every street turned into glorified parking lots. The benefit is clear: every individual now has the false freedom of a choice: to either be stuck in place, girt by an inescapable prison of highways, or to pay tens of thousands more for a personal vehicle than they would have to keep trams running. Regardless of their choice, the individual pays exorbitant tax to support the increasing obesity of the roads; widening in vein hopes of reducing congestion only to make it worse, cracking and shattering under the weight of our vehicles.
Why can't Perry have an adult conversation instead of being so angry and pissed off. He looks so unhinged like he has an axe to grind. And why does he harp on subsidies for EV purchases? How much has the government subsidized the oil industry?
You go Mr. Secretary! Any time your opponent interrupts your response you know you're on the right track. Should you ever run again for office, you have my vote :)
@@planosoccer if you just let someone talk without fact checking them, you do a disservice to your audience and allow them to become mislead. The news has an obligation to inform, not platform lies.
My Tesla is the best car I have ever owned. EVs for most people would work great if the truth could only be heard. Many just spread or believe the FUD.
China needs energy security from EVs because they are Crude Oil POOR. EVs is a way for them to rely less on crude oil. US is not much better as fracking has become a financial disaster with horrific geological consequences. If US can't keep maintaining the oil production without these technology. Crude Oil supply security will also become a problem. No matter what we're going to keep using all the crude oil we can extract. But maybe not a good idea to keep consuming more than we can produce.
@@SWalkerTTU But it gets EXPORTED because we have too much of the types of crude oil needed for our domestic Distillate fuel supply. We still need to import other types of Crude to achieve the types fuels we consume domestically. Crude Oil is a vast array of difficult oil types. The total barrel amount is not really relevant to domestic Distillate fuel production. We have barely enough now and that can get worse.
Given the way he handles conservative extremists and their lies on Fox News, Pete Buttigieg seems to be the only one to have the nerves to run circles around Trump on a debate stage. He is young, calm, pragmatic, well educated, well spoken, war veteran, transformational candidate and now also has national executive office experience. Biden should've just stepped aside and let the younger generation of democrats take the stage. This was the perfect time! Such a missed opportunity!
Mr Perry - we love our used EV Kona. It's 3 years old, 30K miles when we bought it, like new.Options beyond what we normally need in a car. We've driven it all over our state and even did a multi-state road trip when fetching it home. No problems. Was cheaper than even the majority of the "economy" cars out there. When our V6 SUV reaches 200K miles, we'll replace that with a larger EV suitable for a bit of towing and even longer trips. We're not going back to ICEV daily drivers. We mostly charge at home or our relative's home across the state when we visit them paying them for our electricity. Even when we travel out of town, the EV shines. We have found the chargers most convenient to our needs and return to them each time we need a quick charge - normally only 20-25 minutes. Seldom need to do a full charge.
If the government did not direct changes in private businesses, we would never have seat belts, airbags or less smog to name just a few...

He sure was asking quite loudly for future campaign donations here
Well done, Pete.
You're welcome, bot.
@@LordRykard9376Bot not.
All around the world... where EV are available.. there sales are growing. What is this nonsense about including or excluding government sales? When Pepsico and Walmart are putting in effort to electrify their delivery fleet .... the simple question is, "What do these mega capitalistic companies that rely heavily on transport know that we don't know?".... they know the same as a yet even bigger transport company, FedEx... who completed electrifying their fleet.
EV sales in the US have either stalled, or fallen this year relative to last year.
The news is full of stories of falling EV sales.
@@craigyirush3492who cares what the media says? Numbers are the numbers. Sales are rising yoy.
@@PistonAvatarGuyLargely because the two cheapest available models were discontinued. Their replacement is coming next year.
@@SWalkerTTU Doubtful.
Go Pete, go!!!
I watch Pete's factual clapbacks like I watch the Olympics!
Rick Perry is chairman of the board to Energy Transfer Partners, the energy company that made over $2 billion while Texans froze to death in their homes. Just so we all know where his values lie.
Proper handling. End the dead end conversation and call out all the fear mongering misinformation. Hard to move forward in a constructive manner when starting with a base of falsehoods (common these days)
Come back when we’re at least on the right page. Well done secretary
America had EVs on almost every road in almost every city. They were called trams. They were torn up on the false promise that automobiles could replace them -- they couldn't. Instead, to accommodate cars, every city has since been repeatedly bisected by ever-expanding highways, and every street turned into glorified parking lots. The benefit is clear: every individual now has the false freedom of a choice: to either be stuck in place, girt by an inescapable prison of highways, or to pay tens of thousands more for a personal vehicle than they would have to keep trams running. Regardless of their choice, the individual pays exorbitant tax to support the increasing obesity of the roads; widening in vein hopes of reducing congestion only to make it worse, cracking and shattering under the weight of our vehicles.
Dang, remind me why it wasn’t Pete on that stage against Trump? That was expertly handled 😮💨
Someone show this to Will Smith ... Because THAT's how you slap someone down.
Masterful job my Secretary Pete!
Pete "roads are racist" Buttigief? Dude is a clown and people who support him are as well.
Pete debated an egg yolk 😂
Pete doesn't suffer fools or liars... Toy sales fell Q1!!! Have you heard of Christmas? Perry is bad at lying....
The senator is so screwed up with his so-called facts that he stinking up Congress
I bought my EV and I am very happy in all senses.
Why can't Perry have an adult conversation instead of being so angry and pissed off. He looks so unhinged like he has an axe to grind. And why does he harp on subsidies for EV purchases? How much has the government subsidized the oil industry?
It's because the subsidies for the oil industry go into his pocket
Mr. Perry is rude & incorrect. 💥💥💥💥 He got knocked out.
You go Mr. Secretary! Any time your opponent interrupts your response you know you're on the right track. Should you ever run again for office, you have my vote :)
Why should the government not have a say what is allowed to drive on its roads?
Because they "think" they live in a free country.? 😂😂
Perry got his "facts" from FoxNews and got reality checked into oblivion XD
Wow that was fantastic!
Why isnt this giy running for president
Buttigieg 2024
This is your brain on Fox
Nice job Mr. Secretary!
Really wanted Buttigieg to have been our president.
GOP: “Oh no, how dare we apply basic environmental and health standards to vehicles, even though our planet is dying!”
Give me a fucking break.
I wish all news are like this, no hosts , no narrative, no opinion by anyone.
We need to decide by the facts.
@@planosoccer if you just let someone talk without fact checking them, you do a disservice to your audience and allow them to become mislead. The news has an obligation to inform, not platform lies.
My Tesla is the best car I have ever owned. EVs for most people would work great if the truth could only be heard. Many just spread or believe the FUD.
Pretty sure there are still more oil subsidies every year than there have ever been EV subsidies.
China is going full in EV but USA is debating if we should go with EV. EV is expensive in the USA simply USA did not invest enough in industry
China needs energy security from EVs because they are Crude Oil POOR. EVs is a way for them to rely less on crude oil. US is not much better as fracking has become a financial disaster with horrific geological consequences. If US can't keep maintaining the oil production without these technology. Crude Oil supply security will also become a problem. No matter what we're going to keep using all the crude oil we can extract. But maybe not a good idea to keep consuming more than we can produce.
@@Neojhun We’ve been producing more than importing, but we need external sources for sufficient gasoline.
@@SWalkerTTU But it gets EXPORTED because we have too much of the types of crude oil needed for our domestic Distillate fuel supply. We still need to import other types of Crude to achieve the types fuels we consume domestically. Crude Oil is a vast array of difficult oil types. The total barrel amount is not really relevant to domestic Distillate fuel production. We have barely enough now and that can get worse.
@@NeojhunThat's a hard thing to explain to many uneducated americans.
Given the way he handles conservative extremists and their lies on Fox News, Pete Buttigieg seems to be the only one to have the nerves to run circles around Trump on a debate stage. He is young, calm, pragmatic, well educated, well spoken, war veteran, transformational candidate and now also has national executive office experience. Biden should've just stepped aside and let the younger generation of democrats take the stage. This was the perfect time! Such a missed opportunity!
Can we please kick Rep Perry out of the House? This guy is a joke. Vote Pete for president !
People who think they can go toe-to-toe with Pete Buttigieg or Katie Porter are a joy to watch get shut down.
Toss out lies and hope people don't listen to the responses. That the Republicans way.😂
You tell him Pete
I want to watch Mr Perry breathe dirty tailpipe air and say what he just said again. What a joke he is.
Congressman was PWNED!!!!
Thank you, for focusing on the constant lies that come out instead of trying to apologize or appease these people.
Scott Perry is a tool for the oil industry
You could have stopped at “tool” and still have been correct.
Love it. Facts against lies!
Pete is the man for the job!
Mr Perry - we love our used EV Kona. It's 3 years old, 30K miles when we bought it, like new.Options beyond what we normally need in a car. We've driven it all over our state and even did a multi-state road trip when fetching it home. No problems. Was cheaper than even the majority of the "economy" cars out there. When our V6 SUV reaches 200K miles, we'll replace that with a larger EV suitable for a bit of towing and even longer trips. We're not going back to ICEV daily drivers. We mostly charge at home or our relative's home across the state when we visit them paying them for our electricity. Even when we travel out of town, the EV shines. We have found the chargers most convenient to our needs and return to them each time we need a quick charge - normally only 20-25 minutes. Seldom need to do a full charge.
I will buy an EV as soon as possible.
00:46 and If you've a DENNIS-fied some point 😆🤣🤣😆🤣🤣😆🤣🤣😆🤣🤣
Classic teardown. The face at the end is priceless.
