Not a Joke!: Joe Biden Says Electric Cars Can Light Your Home – Video Viewed 500K Times

Speaking at an event to recognize training for future infrastructure jobs, President 👤Joe Biden made the odd claim that if the power goes out in your house, you can run your home by plugging it into your electric car.

In his remarks in the East Room of the White House on Wednesday, Biden talked about the administration’s “Infrastructure Talent Pipeline Challenge” and the commitments from labor unions and other organizations across the country to begin training new applicants for jobs in broadband, construction and electrification.

About halfway through his speech, however, the president lapsed into another one of his odd asides, this time about electric cars.

“And by the way, in your home, you know, the batteries that we have now — and they’re getting more and more sophisticated,” Biden said. “You know, a lightning storm takes out all the electricity in the house. Guess what? You can plug your car into the house and make it light up.”

When some in the audience laughed, the president insisted it was true.

“You think I’m joking? It’s a little simplistic, but literally you can. Literally you can,” he exclaimed. “Haha. Oh.”
