My BIL is VP at General Motors Defense. All wheeled military vehicles are going to go EV because of the battlefield advantages over gas or diesel.. Every military defense contractor on the planet is going EV including China.
General Motors Defense hired Hendrick Motorsports of Nascar fame to build the new vehicles.
My BIL cannot give out specifics but said the batteries they are developing now will charge in just a few minutes and be a quarter of the weight and size of current batteries and 1200-1500 range will be commonplace and anyone will be able to replace them in a few minutes without any tools. He said they cannot keep up with the battery advances.
China is patening a battery that loses no charge in sub zero weather
Toyota said their 2025 models will charge in 10 minutes and have a 650 mile range and by 2028 want a 6 minute charge and a 900 mile range.
Tesla is coming out with a 25k model next year.
