You should read the OP before posting nonsense. Then again, most democrats don't read at grade level, huh?Okay fecalbrain, is it within the Secretary of Energy's power to determine what powertrain our tanks use? Don't the Abrams weight in about 60 tons or so? My guess is she was talking about the civil fleet of cars not battle tanks or other battlefield vehicles.
WTF is next an all electric Indy 500 or an all electric Daytona 200 (for all the F1, motorcycle fans)

Currently fuel trucks refuel the tanks when it is convenient.Where do tanks get gas on the battlefield?
Go from there and I am sure your big mind can figure out how EV tanks will be charged.

I saw her comments about tanks being EVsGranholm's call for 100% EV military puts 'electric tanks,' green agenda before national security: critics
President Biden's energy secretary, Michigan Democrat Jennifer Granholm, wants to see a fully-electric military by the year 2030, causing controversy among critics.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm received blowback from critics this week after she testified before the Senate in support of a plan to fully establish an all-electric vehicle fleet in the U.S. military by the 2030s, leading some observers to wonder if the Biden administration believes politics trumps national security.
An Abrams tank uses about a 2 gallons of fuel to go over 1 mile at Maximum Speed: 42 mph with a Range: 265 mi.
M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank - Specifications.
So if an EV uses 1 mi/kWh = a car traveling 33.705 Miles for one gallon of gas... then an EV to equal traveling 33 miles /gallon
would require 33 kWh.
So to travel the 265 miles range of an Abrams tank would require the equivalent of 33 kWh X 265 miles or 8,745 kWh.

But each tank would use 8,745 kWh per tank to travel 265 miles per tank.

Really? Then how does the empty tank get filled?Fossil fuel tanks don't need electricity bonehead.
it's called real news and reality. try it sometime. There will be progress and she wasn't talking about 2030, she was talking about the 30s and we have no idea what can happen between now and then. Depending of course on whether we have Democratic progress with new investment or the same old giveaway to the rich from the GOP and a screw job for everyone else....OMG!! you watched a program?? on PBS even,,
Are you really that stupid?
Fossil fuel tanks can actually refueling on the MOVE!
Please why can't you do what I did, find the facts that fossil fuel tanks can be fueled on the go...
BUT EVs.... they have to stop. Plug into a re-charger. AND within about 30 minutes get their batteries recharged... not because they are connected to
"re-chargers".... but because the "re-chargers" are connected to the "grids"....via evidently something you are totally ignorant of called "Transmission lines"!
Transmission lines are necessary to carry high-voltage electricity over long distances and connect electricity generators with electricity ...
It transmits power generated at a variety of facilities and distributes it to end users, often over long distances. It provides electricity to buildings, industrial facilities, schools, and homes. And it does so every minute of every day, year-round.

NOW do you understand the VERY SIMPLE and fundamental issue that people like and the Secretary of Energy who recently supports requiring U.S. military to adopt all-electric vehicle fleet by 2030. Energy Sec. Jennifer Granholm says she supports efforts to require the U.S. military to implement an all-electric vehicle fleet by the year 2030, telling lawmakers that she believes "we can get there."
Biden energy secretary doubles down on electrifying US military's vehicle fleet by 2030: 'We can get there'
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said she supports efforts to require the U.S. military to implement an all-electric vehicle fleet by the year 2030, saying she believes “we can get there."
In the United States Army, refuel on the move (ROM), is a logistical action, for sustaining an army while on maneuver to reach a destination.
A ROM for military vehicles is akin to in-flight refueling for aircraft or UAVs.
FA forward arming and refueling point is a location for a refuel on the move. The refueling point has to support refueling within a time limit, such as 30 seconds per vehicle, which has tactical consequences for an 87 tank BCT, if it were to be under fire.
Refuel On the Move - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
So again in summary...
EV tanks WILL need to be physically connected to the "grid", i.e. the network of electricity transmission.
Fossil fuel the can completely refuel in 30 seconds, i.e. the gas tankers stop by the tank and refuel in less than 30 seconds.
Now just in case that's too complicated for you to understand???

OK... so you are in a tank and your EV batteries are drained.Solar panels, Dummy.

Yes I can imagine a tank with 26 solar panels hooked up to charge one EV tank. For 1 mile.View attachment 780516
Do you know what that is?
A portable battery connected to the device it's charging.
Now imagine one of these
View attachment 780517Large enough to power a tank
And on wheels, self propelled
And hundreds of them rolling on and off the field providing power to the tanks.
Yes, even on the move.
Speaking of stupid was this too much for your tiny mind to absorb.

A forward arming and refueling point (FARP) is a location for a refuel on the move.Really? Then how does the empty tank get filled?
Bring another fuel tank?
How do you suppose you'd recharge a battery in the field?
With another battery?
The unwillingness to stretch your mind even a little is unsurprising.
OH... so you think a gigantic battery storage tanker is the answer right?Maybe the same place the fossil fuel tanks use when they run out?
It's too bad you could use what little attention span you have to think before turning those stubby fingers loose.Yes I can imagine a tank with 26 solar panels hooked up to charge one EV tank. For 1 mile.
OK... so you are in a tank and your EV batteries are drained.
And you carry solar panels on the tank to charge your EV batteries.
A 3 foot by 5 foot solar panel generates (now here DUMMY I deal with facts... stupid comments...)
FACT: https://www.gotrhythm.com/blog/solar-energy/how-much-power-does-a-solar-panel-produce
So in an area with five hours of direct sunlight each day, your equation would look like this: five hours x 250 watts = 1,250 watt-hours or about 1.3 kilowatt-hours daily.
1 solar panel 1.3 kWh. Depending on 5 hours of sunlight.
An EV truck requires 4.3 kWh to travel 1 mile. Battery capacity and recharging needs for electric buses in city transit service (Journal Article) | DOE PAGES
Hmm so how many kWh would be needed to power an Abrams Tank to go one mile?
An Abrams tank uses about a 2 gallons of fuel to go over 1 mile at Maximum Speed: 42 mph with a Range: 265 mi.
M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank - Specifications.
So if an EV uses .25 kWh to travel 1 mile.... an EV Abrams tank would require 33 kWh to travel 1 mile.
Miles per Kilowatt-Hour to Miles per Gallon Gasoline Equivalent Conversion
Convert miles per kilowatt-hour to miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (mi/kWh to MPGe) with the electric car efficiency conversion calculator, and learn the formula.
1 solar panel creates 1.3 kWh of electricity for an Abrams tank to travel 1 mile taking 33 kWh to travel 1 mile or 26 solar panels at 3'ft X 5'ft per panel!
Where will the 26 panels at 396 sq feet FIT in an Abrams tank to power the tank just 1 mile?

An Abrams tank needing batteries to hold 8,745 kWh to travel 265 miles (8,745kWh/85kWh) or another 60 tons to the weight.

what charges the back up??There's a saying..."Generals fighting the last war"
Back in the day when your cell ran low you had to find a wall.
Now we have portable battery packs
I can get my phone back up in a few seconds.
What is it that makes you think that type of thing can't be done on a larger scale?
