"Electric vehicles taking over the battlefield is only a matter of time.
As battery technology like GM’s Ultium Platform advances, it enables
longer travel distances, more power, and better performance. Most
importantly, electric vehicles are quieter, more powerful, can
accelerate faster, and are technologically superior, making them the
perfect choice for the military. The US Army and Navy are aiming for
net-zero emissions by 2050, while the Air Force is committing to 2046.
Electric vehicles will likely play a critical role in the military as
they look to achieve these objectives."

it will take time
