This massive need for transportation, combined with the Obama administration’s desire to promote electric vehicles, led the U.S. military to be. For driving around a military base or going into town for various reasons, they were ideal cars. In other words, for a large portion of military fleets, the needs are basically the same as for civilian buyers, so electric vehicles will work just as well.
Here’s the thing: electrification actually increases your options. As it stands currently, most military land vehicles have one option for fuel: diesel. Put anything else in the tank, and things will go poorly. Diesel fuel, like anything else, doesn’t magically appear out of thin air right when you need it. So, militaries have to bring in lots and lots and lots of diesel fuel anywhere they’re going to fight.
On that last one, it’s a great option. Generating fuel locally instead of moving it in from halfway around the world means less vulnerability. It means that the enemy can’t just attack your supply routes and prevent you from getting what you need to fight them.
