Department of Energy Sec. Jennifer Granholm’s summer road trip in an electric vehicle was meant to promote the Biden administration’s green energy agenda.
Ms. Granholm’s four-day EV trip this summer through the southeast ran into charging woes for her caravan of three EVs, according to NPR, which was along for the ride. One incident involved a member of her team traveling ahead to reserve a rapid charger by using their gas-powered vehicle to block access for other EVs, infuriating a family to the point that they phoned the police.
“It demonstrates just how unrealistic the Democrats’ and this administration’s green hallucination really is,” he said. “We only have one charging station in Montana per 1,700 square miles.” Ms. Granholm’s 770-mile trip was from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Memphis, Tennessee. The EVs traveling with her featured a Cadillac Lyriq, Ford F-150 Lightning and Chevy Bolt, all of which require more than two full charges to make the trek.
