How well would electric Hummers have done in Iraq and Afghanistan?
“How well would electric Hummers have done in Iraq and Afghanistan?”
When I discovered in the Future Combat System’s contract that it was supposed to “transition” to electric I went to talk to our chief engineer. I asked what the plan was for this. He said, approximatly, “It’s a lie. Engineering never signed up for it, but management went ahead even though we said it couldn’t be done. But nobody is expecting this contract to last through to production. The whole thing is idiotic.”
Well, we could have brought along extra generators to produce the electricity. And could have brought along diesel to run the generators. And could have brought along three times as many vehicles so while two are chargeinf, one could be used. And could have brought along portable generators for when a vehicle’s battery went dry in the middle of say, Fallujah. Yes, definitely would save the planet.
