Listen Later

Now it's in poor repair, needing parts that can no longer be found and likely to be replaced by gas. An entire shipping container of ebikes were stolen in a brazen heist. Kraft Dinner noodles to be dried at the factory without fossil fuels, thanks to Biden. EVs 70% cleaner than gas cars during their lifecycle.
