Not to mention fighting in cold conditions.

Not going to be funny when all the .mil EVs batteries go dead at the same time, and they can't be juiced up.

Unlike liquid fuel vehicles, that can be refueled in minutes, anywhere.

Well, that explains the 23B loan to GM.

I was a little concerned at first, but then I found out that all battlefields are equipped with the latest EV chargers and hookups!

Iā€™m sure some fruitcake General will try to pimp some idea like that.

Military EVs are just one more example of suicidally stupid leftists putting fantasies above reality.

Only gay and/or trans service people should have to operate them.

Just wait till an IED cooks off the batteriesā€¦ā€¦.sorry, no drinking water - we just expended 32,000 gallons of water extinguishing a hummer, and two more are still burning.

Fantasy over reality. Catastrophe ahead.

Military vehicles from tanks to trucks to humvees can be refueled anywhere, in minutes, by bringing up a fuel truck that also runs on diesel or gas.

Military EVs that go flat on or near a battlefield will be dead ducks.

Yes, and the batteries will increase weight for travel over soft terrain.

What did you expect? We have trannys in military-issue high heels screaming across the battlefield, yelling “I’ll scratch your eyes out, you bitch!”

And you expected they’d be better on Electric Vehicles?

Just posted this on another post about the military and electric vehicles:
Seems like the military has forgotten that during a modern war the enemy will use EMPs to disable most electronics.
