Costs. 3 the other big savings with a Pure Electric car, you dont have oil changes, you dont have radiator flushes. You do have to check your brake pads, but the maintenance, in the long run, is significantly reduced. While many of us cant afford a luxury, and chevrolet are promising new evs in the 30thousand dollar range in the coming months.

But i believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in place and look to the american horizon. To a nation where every child can not only dream of going to college, but attend one. Where quality healthcare will be a birthright of every citizen. Where a good job is not a wish, but a reality. Where women receive equal pay and a living wage is paid to all. An america where after a lifetime of labor, there is time for rest and grandchildren. A nation that defends our people and our values, but no longer carries so much of that burden alone.
