US Army Self-Driving Electric Vehicles

Plainly plug-in electric vehicles and making their own electric power with portable fuel cells, along with portable solar panels, is the way for the Army to be energy independent on the battlefield. For the past several years the U.S. military has been moving toward energy independence and plug-in electric vehicles.


Katherine Hammack (far right), assistant secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment, a big supporter of energy-efficient vehicles that are also high-performance combat ready, was on hand for the unveiling of the ZH2 hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle rolled out Oct. 3, 2016, during the Association of the United States Army Annual Meeting and Symposium.
The advantages of autonomous Humvees are too obvious and numerous to mention. The ability to produce electric power from local resources such as water and sunshine, along with air-dropped energy packs are also somewhat revolutionary, practical and environmentally friendly. The  vehicles should be able to recharge without wires as well-even on the move, drawing from a power ‘tanker’.


Tesla motors is working on a semi-truck that may hit the market in 2020. Plainly the ability to develop all-weather and climate electric vehicles including the Arctic and deserts are apparent in an era of global warming.



It is self-evident that the electric vehicles would need the ability to survive EMP attacks-perhaps with an auxiliary ghost electric wiring net.
