Published | Video Starts at 01:42

The United States didn't abolish slavery officially until December 6, 1865. That's when the 13th amendment was ratified, and that's after 360,222 Union soldiers died. So it's my understanding The Biden administration wants 50% of all electric vehicles or new production vehicles to be electric by 2030. Is that correct? Yes, that's the goal. Okay. I mean, honestly, it sort of begs the question of whether or not you discussed that with the UAW prior to coming up with that timeline, but that's a subject for another day. (01:42–01:49)
