Donald Trump: We're not going to be making the electric cars

"That's why China's going electric. If we go electric, we're playing right into their hands. We have oil and gas. They don't. They have things for making the batteries and other things. They're going to make the electric cars. We're not going to be making the electric cars."

"The problem with the electric cars, and I think they're great in a smaller application, is that they're going to be making the electric cars. They don't go far. They cost too much, and they're going to be made in China. Three minor problems, okay?"

"But if you listen to this government, they want to make army tanks electric, because they want to invade countries with their army tanks in a very friendly way from the pollution standpoint. The whole thing. You know what you have to do?"

"The batteries are so big, they have a design where the army tank is going in, and they have... Like a wagon, like a child's wagon with these massive batteries. These... We're gonna have the Green Wars? These people are crazy. No, they want trucks to be all electric. The problem is they don't go far."
