Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stated that the automotive sector is moving towards EVs and China pushed for an advantage in the EV market. He also mentioned the competition between the U.S. and China and the need for action to not let it happen on its own pace.
On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stated that “the automotive sector is moving towards EVs” and China pushed for an advantage in the EV market “because that’s the economically smart play” but “we can’t just sit back and let this happen on its own pace” because there’s a competition between the U.S. and China . Co-host John Roberts asked, “ Tesla sales fell 8.

EV sales are nowhere near what this president wanted or expected. Yet, the administration continues to shove them down consumers’ throats. Why?” Buttigieg responded, “Well, let’s be clear, consumers have wanted and purchased more EVs every single year than the year before
