Buttigieg rejects critics of EV future: Like people in 2000s saying we could have landlines forever

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg sounded off on "America Reports" as critics continue to push back on the Biden green vehicle push.
When "America Reports" anchor Sandra Smith reported on cuts to the workforce at Ford's F-150 Lightning assembly plant in Dearborn, Mich. — where only one-third of workers will remain, beginning this week, according to the Detroit Free Press — Buttigieg said purchases of EVs continue to increase on an annual basis.

"Tesla is facing more competition as GM and Ford and Stellantis and other competitive players start to make sure they get a piece of the EV market. Let's be clear that the automotive sector is moving toward EVs, and we can't pretend otherwise," he said in the wake of reported decreases in Tesla sales. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
