there are times when EVs make sense like when the WHO, WEF CDC are going to drive thru a live weapons training field, at the same time

EVs have been being tested by Western militaries for several years now.......




They are quiet and can have reduced thermal signature (that normally comes from ICE exhaust).

Field charging from solar is possible with E Bikes, but becomes impractical as the vehicle size increases.


.......but it is also inevitable that military interest in EVs would be hijacked by the ecowarrior, woke crowd and their political representatives.

Well... EV 'Scout / Recon bikes' are One thing, but.. Those who would propose 'Heavy Equip' (ie: even just an APC or MRAP, etc) seem woefully under-Educated / Experienced about the 'Realities', etc.

But maybe Some day, the Tech will be 'mature / robust / sustainable enough', eh? Prolly about the time we start mining Melange on Arrakis.

Where is the US going to get the raw materials for the batteries and the finished batteries?
China or maybe Russia?
