Biden makes electric pitch at Ford plant: “There’s no turning back” – THE DETROIT NEWS
We’ve talked about the EV revolution for years. The delay was never about the technology. Heck, there’s people out there running cars on everything from soybeans to limes to hydrogen fuel (yes…that’s water).

Of course, we are referring to Biden’s promise to “secure a domestic EV supply chain, ensure a nationwide network of charging stations, make EVs accessible to average consumers and do it with a unionized workforce.”
