President Joe Biden pushed electric vehicles as part of his infrastructure plan and vision for a greener future from Dearborn, Michigan, on Tuesday and in pitching the ease of electric, gave the public a rare visual of a president behind a steering wheel.
While test driving Ford’s F-150 Lightning pickup during an unscheduled stop at a Ford testing site, Biden pulled up to reporters and said, “This sucker is quick.”
Donning his classic aviator shades, Biden drove the electric truck through an empty lot, before telling reporters it “feels great” to be behind the wheel and answering, “I would,” when asked if he would buy one. One Secret Service agent rode in the passenger seat alongside the president.
“I think that we’re going 0 to 60 in about 4.3, 4.4,” Biden said, before demonstrating again how quickly the vehicle can accelerate, appearing to push the gas pedal to the floor. He said he’d lay off the pedal at 80 mph.
