Gina McCarthy: Electric Vehicles Will Be Cheaper 'When More Are Sold'
[BREITBART] During a town hall on CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
 on Friday, White House National Climate Adviser Gina McCarthy said that electric vehicles will become cheaper "when more are sold" and that we have to help consumers with either direct rebates or tax incentives.
Since they all have to be subsidized via taxes or rebates to sell
McCarthy said, "The American Jobs Plan and the work that we’re doing to address our greenhouse gas emissions are really going to speak to this very issue. Because it’s not about sacrifice. It is about working with our manufacturing sector to revise it — to revive it. It’s about actually building batteries in the U.S. so the cost goes down. It’s us taking back the supply chains that we’ve lost to other countries. And it is about putting people back to work in good union jobs. There is a legitimate issue of electric vehicles that they’re not accessible to everybody. That will change over time."

Moderator Dana Bash then cut in to ask, "When will that happen?"

McCarthy responded, "One of the ways in which we’re looking at this is to work with the car manufacturers. We didn’t choose electric vehicles. They came to us, and said, you know what, electric vehicles are the future. But they’re producing them in China, not here. And so, we need to reinvigorate our manufacturing sector. We have two battery manufacturing companies that are starting up, one to serve GM and one to serve Ford, right in the United States. We’re actually proposing to do a lot of consumer rebates, we’re proposing to look at tax rebates, things to lower the cost."
