Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg insists former President Donald Trump is simply “wrong” about how popular electric vehicles are.

During an appearance on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” Buttigieg was asked about Trump’s criticism of the Biden administration’s EV push.

Host Margaret Brennan played a clip of the former president speaking at a rally in New Jersey.

“Do you notice he’s trying to save the electrical vehicle, but not the gas-powered, which is the vehicle that everybody wants,” Trump said.”They’re going crazy with the electric car, costing us a fortune. We’re spending hundreds of billions of dollars subsidizing a car that nobody wants and nobody’s ever going to buy.”

Brennan noted, “He’s not wrong on the purchasing.”

Buttigieg countered while laughing, “Oh, he’s wrong.”

However, Brennan responded, “He’s not.”

“Of the 4 million vehicles purchased, you know, 269,000 electric vehicles were sold in the U.S. market, it’s up like 2%,” she pointed out.

Buttigieg responded by saying “every single year more Americans buy EVs than the year prior.”
