So you are squad leader being chased by the bad guys... you and your group jump in your EV jeep and guess what?

But the EV batteries are not charged! You can't go anywhere!
Unlike the earlier jeeps with their extra tanks of gas in US Green Metal Gas Jerry Can Army Military Fuel 5 Gallon US Jeep.
So will these new EV jeeps carry extra batteries?
Also will the new EV jeeps get charged at night from local utilities?
Where will this electricity come from to charge the EV jeeps?

Yup and all electric military by 2050.

I wonder what brave aviator will be assigned to test the new super sonic electric jet fighter or electric stealth bomber? What size battery will be needed for the aircraft carriers?

 

[The Original Tree]

EVs are not combat ready...yet.

But they will be.

They never will be Moron. Energy and Mass. Maybe you could use an EV Jeep on a base for MPs or something but that's it. You must be having a terminal case of dumbass disease.

Gasoline has 5,000 times the energy in 1lb of gas than a 1lb battery, is easily transportable, easily transferable.

 

[g5000]

NO Question! Especially when the batteries are no longer charged! That's the point. I agree quieter but you tell me which you would prefer to make an escape in saying a small town... an EV with half charged batteries and you have to recharge or a regular jeep with half tank of gas and a Jerry Can containing 5 gallons of gas?

A half charged EV can still go 50 miles or more.

Aircraft carriers are nukular.

So you think warfare is fought in a 50 mile range? Joe Biden should be brought up on treason charges if he tries to convert our military to EVs.
Where you gonna find a charging station in the middle of the desert or jungle dumbass?

Imagine how a lithium ion battery will interact with an IED. Can you say more bang for the buck?

.

 

[The Original Tree]

Right. And all military maneuvers and engagements with the enemy are planned out in advance, so they know just how many miles they're going to drive.

Maybe we could have a little kumbaya pow-wow with the enemy and ask them if we could borrow a generator to charge the hybrid tactical vehicle. I'm sure they'll be generous enough to let us use one for a couple hours.

Brings the experience of RANGE ANXIETY to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL!

Those damn things burn hot like phosphorous. We should put G5000 in one and send him on a dangerous mission.

 

[Moonglow]

Yeah. Our military is so stupid. They don't have daily maintenance checks or anything!

The military knows fuck-all about logistics...

And you had better tell the ninety year old OP that there are no Jeeps and haven't been for decades.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

The Chinese military is laughing their asses off over the woke U.S. military.
They know their military is made up of real men, and down the road they know we'll go down real easy.

That's why there's extra trunk space in the front.

Military equipment isn't the same weight as a standard car. The heavier the vehicle the more power you need, the more power you need the bigger the battery, the bigger the battery the more weight and the cycle continues.

I want to see what the hell and m1abrahms is going to look like with batteries.

This fucking guy is going to screw us all.

 

[JGalt]

Until the batteries die and you have to push it ding bat cuz there is no place for you to charge it moron.

There's an official military designation for that.

 

[The Original Tree]

Joe wants to turn the entire United States Military into FUBAR x 10!

This green shit is past tiresome and becoming dangerous. Stop

It's just too bad you don't do any research before you make some antiquated, ill-informed and just a truly ignorant comment... but what can be expected from someone called "MoonDull"!

75 years after it was first deployed, will US Army bring back the 'jeep'?​

Last year the Army began gearing up its Ground Mobility Vehicle Program for fiscal 2017. It was part of the Army's Combat Vehicle Modernization Strategy that sought to procure lightweight combat vehicles for infantry brigade combat teams. The vehicles considered sound very much like what first entered service back in 1940.
Now after 25 years in service it is apparent the Humvee can't do it all. It won't exactly be the end of the road for the Humvee, but the military may be putting drivers behind the wheel of other, more versatile alternative vehicles.
Earlier this year the Army ordered an initial batch of the half truck/half-'jeep' like vehicles.

75 years after it was first deployed, will US Army bring back the 'jeep'?

Were it not for efforts by the U.S. military to develop a lightweight, unarmored, all-terrain vehicle for the battlefield there might not be a market for SUVs today.

Ever hear of a backup source? Try regenerative braking systems and fuel cells. You must live under a rock and have for a very long time.

The powerful sound waves from the enemy bursting out laughing at our Gang Green military will provide all the energy needed.

Regenerative braking systems is new?
Regenerative braking is an energy recovery mechanism that slows down a moving vehicle or object by converting its kinetic energy into a form that can be either used immediately or stored until needed and where have you been? It's been around for the last 57 years?

And "fuel cells"... geez...The first fuel cells were invented by Sir William Grove in 1838.!!! Fuel cell - Wikipedia

So what's your point? Both over 50 years ago and longer... so??
