I was getting something out of my Chevy Bolt EV in a parking lot of a small store/gas station yesterday when someone said, “Biden’s not president anymore.”
When I straightened up the only person who was there was a driver making a delivery about to enter the store, so, apparently, this comment was directed at me.
Here’s what I could have said, had this person actually wanted to have a conversation with me:
“Oh, are you asking about my car? Actually, we bought our Bolt in 2017, a couple of months into Trump’s first term. Our Chevy Bolt is a great, American-made car, which is much cheaper to power and maintain than a gasoline-powered one. It’s also fun to drive and has as much torque as a Camaro. You should test-drive an EV next time you are in the market.”
I’m hoping to still have my Bolt after Trump leaves office – and I hope that his successor will support electric vehicles more like Biden than Trump.

He strikes me as a jingoistic advocate for fossil fuel companies.

Given that during the campaign he told fossil fuel companies to give him a billion dollars and he would take care of them, it’s disgusting but not surprising that he is continuing to enact policies that favor fossil fuels and gut renewable energy. He doesn’t understand, though, that oil prices are globally determined and, if prices drop too low, US producers can’t make a profit because fracking is an expensive proposition, made more so by steel tariffs.

It’s also an inappropriate comment and not his business what you drive and why.

True, although I’m just guessing he was referring to my car and not just randomly stating the obvious fact that Joe Biden isn’t president. It was just such an odd situation.
