But we are making progress, right?

Apparently they suffered the same electrical issues as Porsche's Tiger prototype, right?

@plainText384 If i remember correctly, biofuel is actually unstainable as it actually requires more energy to produce. Then about hydrogen fuel, the cost of storing those in a fuel tank is high, and not to mention the hazard. Lastly we had to consider the fact that converting everything to accept these fuel required a very large amount of money. And for what purpose? These fuels does not offer many advantages anyway

@plainText384 What advantage does carbon neutrality play in the battlefield? The US military is not a green hippie group. The law of thermodynamics dont work like that. The crude oil is an external source of energy. What im trying to say is that biofuel requires more energy (from farming, refinement, and additional fuel additive) that made the cost higher than simply pumping and refining crude oil.

@Alex-vo2ce Im not proposing for electric tanks. Im commenting for the original comment about battery technology in general.

@spartanx9293 Isnt the problem with electricity is not about efficiency (it has 90% energy efficiency) and instead about how large and heavy the battery would be?

Franklin Swimmbladder3 Electric cars today are quite promising. Give it 10-20 more years and we'll have an even longer ranged model to replace IC engine cars.
