So you’re really blowing smoke out your butt aren’t you.
You don’t have a clue where the battery is. It’s in the same area as a gas tank is on an ice car. Just in case you don’t want to be found floundering and clueless if someone asks you.
That’s your stupid claim. You said you actually sit on it dumbo and you show me a reference that proves you don’t. You‘re protected bubba and you aren’t with a phone. Btw, chances of a fire in gas car, 1.3%, chances of fire with an ev .03%

Even being in an oil rich nation doesn’t guarantee a supply line of fuel. The reason hydrogen fuel cells are attractive is that hydrogen can be extracted form water.
All fuel, fossil or not, has to come from a fuel distribution dump. With hydrogen, the fuel is produced on site. So you have a refinery for fossil fuels at dumps ? Hell no. There is no transportation from far away sources. It’s prohibitively expensive for gas stations, but not the military. They can drop a hydrogen generating plant off a C5A…..then take it away later.

President Biden's energy secretary, Michigan Democrat Jennifer Granholm, wants to see a fully-electric military by the year 2030, causing controversy among critics.

I saw her comments about tanks being EVs
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm received blowback from critics this week after she testified before the Senate in support of a plan to fully establish an all-electric vehicle fleet in the U.S. military by the 2030s, leading some observers to wonder if the Biden administration believes politics trumps national security.
An Abrams tank uses about a 2 gallons of fuel to go over 1 mile at Maximum Speed: 42 mph with a Range: 265 mi. M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank - Specifications.
So if an EV uses 1 mi/kWh = a car traveling 33.705 Miles for one gallon of gas... then an EV to equal traveling 33 miles /gallon
would require 33 kWh.
Convert miles per kilowatt-hour to miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (mi/kWh to MPGe) with the electric car efficiency conversion calculator, and learn the formula.

So to travel the 265 miles range of an Abrams tank would require the equivalent of 33 kWh X 265 miles or 8,745 kWh.
A 100 kWh battery pack in the Model S weighs 1,377 pounds How Much Does a Tesla Battery Weigh?
An Abrams tank using 8,745 kWh to travel 265 miles (8,745kWh/85kWh) or another 60 tons to the weight. M1 Abrams Tank - First Division Museum
So not only would the over 6,000 Abrams takes now weigh an additional 60 tons for the 87 batteries to the U.S. Army is believed to have 2,509 Abrams in various versions, with an additional 3,700 in storage.
The Biden administration has announced it will send 31 M1 Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine in what Kyiv authorities are hailing as a possible game-changer in a war that is now 11 months old. RFE/RL takes a quick look at the Abrams's history and its specs.

But each tank would use 8,745 kWh per tank to travel 265 miles per tank.
Where will the 52,470,000 kWh come from especially in a winter season when EVs have trouble traveling in the cold?
OR where will the military's 170,000 non-tactical vehicles — the cars and trucks we use on our bases, get the electricity?

Remember electricity is NOT made by the re-chargers. Electricity is generated by solar panels (each 3'ftX5'Ft panel generates
Most residential solar panels on today’s market are rated to produce between 250 and 400 watts each per hour or in a sunny day
More people are beginning to see the numerous benefits solar panels can bring, both environmentally and financially. Learn exactly how much electricity solar panels could generate for your household.
www.yesenergysolutions.co.uk
With an average of 3348 hours of sunlight per year one panel at 400 watts/hour will generate 1,339 kWh.
AGAIN where will all the electricity come from to power military EVs especially in foreign countries? And how will that electricity get to the
re-chargers? OH... yea right... fossil fuel converted into gasoline power generators. RIGHT!!!
You still falling for that shit ? Read your own reference.
It’s 2035 before they will have electric tanks, they they are going to like plug in hybrids. The military prefers them. They literally double the range and have stealth modes during combat making them much quieter. It’s as much as operational benefit…Maybe didn’t know it but nuclear powered ships are indeed nearly all HYBRIDS. We’ve been doing this shit for decades, but the army is way behind.
