The electric vehicle (EV) industry has a friend in the Biden administration, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg tells Yahoo Finance Presents.  “So we think it is important to continue incentivizing and encouraging electric vehicle adoption. We got to make sure that electric vehicles are not just a luxury item, especially because the fuel savings from not having to pay to fill it up with gas will be especially meaningful to lower and middle income American car owners,” Buttigieg says….
