So you are a Army EV tank commander fighting in a foreign country, where do you get the electricity to charge the tank in the midst of a battle?

Granholm's call for 100% EV military puts 'electric tanks,' green agenda before national security: critics

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.

Miles per Kilowatt-Hour to Miles per Gallon Gasoline Equivalent Conversion

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.

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 History Of The Abrams Tank

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

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!!!

Easy. You install really, really tall whip antennas on your Jeeps and Tanks then sit and wait for a storm to come along!

From idiot Dem's EV fairy.

Let's be honest, this climate change crap has become embarrassing at this point.

 

[Rigby5]

theres a place for small fast and quiet EVs in the military but to think tanks can be EVs is just stupid

Even with a small, fast, and quiet EV, a hydrogen fuel cell makes more sense than heavy batteries.

 

[Rigby5]

Let's be honest, this climate change crap has become embarrassing at this point.

Nothing wrong with trying to save the climate, but it is just that EV's don't do that.
Hydrogen or bio diesel makes much more sense.

 

[AZrailwhale]

Tanks are targets now.

Tanks have always been targets, that’s why combined arms was developed. The tanks give the infantry firepower and the infantry protect the tanks.

 

[Hossfly]

Yes but if you break an axle you have to put the thing out of it's misery.

 

[candycorn]

This is why women have no place in the military. Granholm should not be doing anything more than bringing coffee. Truly no one but someone who has thoroughly studied war should be making suggestions as to military anything.

An electric military makes as much sense as ghost shirts made to the Sioux.

Trump studied war? LOL.

 

[Hossfly]

Trump studied war? LOL.

Who said anything about Trump, you chinless wonder?

Trump never studied war...but he talked about it quite a bit. I don't recall you guys being aghast because of it, dickless.

Sen. Mullin blasts Energy Secretary’s idea of an all-electric military - Oklahoma Energy Today

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm's call this week for an all-electric U.S. military drew a heavy critical response from Oklahoma U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin who called her idea "ridiculous." It was during a U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Wednesday where Granholm said that she...

I'm a soldier, clueless and the military studies war and they advise the President. That's how it works.

I agree, you're clueless.

 

[Doc7505]

just dont let that blind you if they are right about something,,,

theres a lot of really good applications for EVs,, the left is just to stupid and thinks they can be a replacement,,

my guess is they know these flaws and are just so caught up in their master plan and use it to create divisions they can play off of,,

When you have a new hammer, everything looks like a nail.

To enemy democrats all roads lead to Trump.

 

[Smokin' OP]

Leave it to the 5 retarded teabaggers at the "five" to make shit up, IMAGINE THAT.
Granholm never stated tanks or any fighting vehicle nor did she claim, it WILL happen.

Granholm, a former Michigan Democratic governor, responded to questions from Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, by claiming, "I think we can get there" – and that reducing reliance on the "volatility of globally-traded fossil fuels" is key.

I'm surprised not one of you "genius" Trumptards didn't mention solar powered F-15's..............yet.

 

[Smokin' OP]

To enemy democrats all roads lead to Trump.

I agree with that or his cult.
The enemy of ALL Americans, should be STUPIDITY.

I would bet from the engineers who have charging stations set up or mobile charging stations.
