@PistonAvatarGuy mmmk, just stop already and calm your tits, Tacticool guy. Don't speak for us.
We have already dabbled in hybrid NTV's (not tactical vehicles), EV's are not exactly a stretch. Especially for the torque they deliver, because...armor is fuckin' heavy. But we are, as a government outfit, stuck with mostly the F150 for NTV's thanks to GSA contracts. The US Government is the reason why the F150 is the most sold pickup. Because, by contract, we HAVE to buy it. And we buy an assload of them. Occasionally we got lucky and got our hands on small block diesel Toyota Hilux's and Mitsu L200's in Iraq. But not here.
As far as charging electric fighting vehicles...We DO have those things called generators , and we have lots of them, in all manner of sizes. We also routinely set up fuel points, which could just as easily swap battery modules and go about the business of recharging them. Instead of having to protect a HEMMT Fueler, which is like a giant rolling JP-8 filled target, it would be quite possible to just roll with a flatbed and battery packs. And I have NEVER done a convoy mission that went more than 200 miles without fueling at someplace like Skania, Navistar, Taji...or a forward arming and refueling point in the field
