Given that a Bentley weighs about as much as an M1 Abrahms, I just laughed when they announced this nonsense.

Funny you should mention tanks.

Believe it or not the Army was considering EV tanks.....at least until reality and common sense finally kicked in:

Bently is owned by VW. VW really, really wanted to be the World leader in electric cars. Now VW is going to get into the chip business so they don’t have to rely on the supply chain for chips. VW’s margins are well below most car manufacturers.
