@AndrewTSq Military vehicles today already solve those problems through proper shielding of electronics. The problem becomes significantly more difficult if the entire vehicle needs to be armored to prevent the battery from taking your own soldiers out, and you need to encase every bit of electronics in an EV. We don't even need to get into the cost and feasibility because this has the mark of boondoggle all over it.

 @badchefi In a vehicle like this, every pound you use for armor and batteries means less rounds of ammo, weapons, and carrying capacity for soldiers. What problem is this solving?

@badchefi The reality is that lithium batteries make this concept silly because of the long charge times and the vulnerability of the battery itself around ordinance. Lithium is a terrible material to build large scale batteries and until someone comes up with an alternative, EVs will be a niche.
