Many ranges are beginning to disallow traditional lead bullets in favor of - yes - environmentally friendly ammo.

So then your options are install a superfast cooling system that'll suck your battery dry in minutes, or sit there twiddling your thumbs until the engine cools down. So It's not actually useful unless you're doing a cold start to sneak right up on the enemy as far as the battery will let you. Awesome.

The short term replacement efforts utilize commercial off-the-shelf vehicles as part of the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) program. Long term efforts include the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle and Future Tactical Truck Systems programs, which are currently focused on building requirements for the HMMWV replacement and technology research and evaluation. Various prototype vehicles such as the MillenWorks Light Utility Vehicle, International FTTS and the ULTRA AP have been constructed as part of these efforts.]]>Nov 6th 2009 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/u-s-army-and-enerdel-team-up-for-electric-hybrid-humvee/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/u-s-army-and-enerdel-team-up-for-electric-hybrid-humvee/

Also, for the folks scoffing at "green" with a HMMWV, the army worries a lot about hauling fuel and burning it. There isn't a local mobil station down the block in the middle of the desert or jungle, so not having to haul as much fuel (which BTW we paid for) is expensive and dangerous (many of the IED plagued convoys are hauling fuel). Nobody is comparing this to a prius, but from a tactical point of view this makes sense.]]>Nov 6th 2009 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/u-s-army-and-enerdel-team-up-for-electric-hybrid-humvee/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/u-s-army-and-enerdel-team-up-for-electric-hybrid-humvee/Nov 6th 2009 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/u-s-army-and-enerdel-team-up-for-electric-hybrid-humvee/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/u-s-army-and-enerdel-team-up-for-electric-hybrid-humvee/Nov 9th 2009 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/u-s-army-and-enerdel-team-up-for-electric-hybrid-humvee/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/u-s-army-and-enerdel-team-up-for-electric-hybrid-humvee/> great for dropping out of airplanes, perhaps, but not so great a candidate for electric power.

Disagreed. Electric motors produce full torque from 0 RPM. As such, they could be quite useful for a heavy vehicle which may have to pull a heavy load from a standstill or move quickly from a stop.

This is a good idea, but I'm concerned about the weight of the batteries. HMMWVs are already heavy enough, especially if you add armor (which they weren't designed for). Adding a bunch of batteries are going to add even mroe weight. In addition, electric cars really fail in extreme cold. The HMMWVs can do extreme cold, extreme heat, and everything in between. Electric cars are nowhere near to doing that yet.]]>Nov 6th 2009 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/u-s-army-and-enerdel-team-up-for-electric-hybrid-humvee/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/u-s-army-and-enerdel-team-up-for-electric-hybrid-humvee/

@Paul34-- I agree with you 100%! Some of these comments on here are really quite humorous! Ohh yeah, when I drove a Hummer on Call of Duty, I NEVER had to fill up! They should make Hummers like that! By the way, I DO have just a "little" experience with HMMWVs (its a Hum-vee, not a hummer! You get hum-vees when you're on duty and hummers when you're not.)]]>Nov 6th 2009 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/u-s-army-and-enerdel-team-up-for-electric-hybrid-humvee/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/u-s-army-and-enerdel-team-up-for-electric-hybrid-humvee/Nov 6th 2009 7:05PM
