The Army picked General Motors to provide them with a GMC Hummer EV for a test drive as the service looks to fill a requirement for a light- to heavy-duty battery electric vehicle to reduce the military’s reliance on fossil fuels in garrison and in the field. GM’s all-electric pickup-model Hummer features 1,000 horsepower with a 24-module, double-stacked Ultium battery pack. It offers almost 330 miles of combined driving range with its first edition and can go from 0-to-60 mph in as little as 3 seconds, according to the company. “Leveraging GM’s advanced technology, this demonstration will prove to our U.S. Army customer

As long as there's an app to show where the charging stations are, and there's time to wait a few hours to recharge in the field, and the bumpers are large enough for all of the Gay and Trans Pride and COEXIST and BLM stickers, what's the problem? Our enemies tremble in fear at the thought of it.

330 mile range? What is that? Downhill? Only on its maiden voyage. Then it goes less and less every time it is charged. And it blows up on impact with anything. And the fire is so hot it can keep burning under water! Plus it is toxic.

Widely reported recent test showed that an electric F150 could only tow a trailer 100 miles before critically dying. So, how far can electric Humvee go before it and the people inside 'critically' die? Unless this is from The Babylon Bee, in which case I'll LMAO.

I believe that it would be good for the U.S. Army to have a significant number of EV in this category AS A SUPPLEMENT to ICE vehicles. I am confident that there are usage cases where an EV would be superior to an ICE vehicle, but for most usages the reverse will be true.

So now any advancing forces will need to capture the EV charging stations? All the enemy has to do is turn off the power. Or will the Army have them tow diesel generators and diesel fuel tanks? I’m sure this will get Gen Milley another medal to hang on his uniform.

What does "almost 330 miles of combined driving range" actually mean? Is that like the pickup test where the meter showed 220 miles range and it stopped at 85 miles? Where are the battlefield charging stations, and from whence do they obtain their electricity? We destroyed the power plants in Iraq, so all our bases had diesel generators, running 24 hours a day. Uh, they used fossil fuels.

They can install a portable electric generator that runs on gas or propane to keep them charged all the time. I have one for my house in the event of a power outage. Better be prepared than suffer from laziness.

I'm guessing #2 that with four fully geared soldiers, this lightly armored vehicle can't go more than 40 miles before recharging, and that's on a paved road. If the terrain is rough, make it 20 miles.

What they don't tell you is that it comes with the standard tow behind gas powered electric generator option, for recharging on the go. For an extra 100K, you can get the extended battery pack for a 400 mile extended range.

I can see it now, when the enemy has you nearly surrounded, and you need to re-charge, but they've turned all electrical lines off. You can't air-drop a bunch of electricity. Presume they will have some sort of extra battery capacity, but how do you re-charge those batteries in the middle of winter and the sun barely shines?

n electric bus caught on fire at a bus depot in Hamden on Saturday morning and three people were transported to the hospital to be evaluated. Firefighters were called to the CT Transit Bus Depot on State Street after getting a report of an electric bus fire in the parking lot. According to fire officials, lithium ion battery fires are difficult to extinguish due to the thermal chemical process that produces great heat and continually reignites.

Drive 330 miles (which will of course decrease as the batteries age and are recharged over and over again), then charge for 7 or 8 hours (probably from a truck using "fossil fuels" to both get to the EV and charge it), then go another 300 miles and repeat. Meanwhile, as you are sitting there charging in the middle of the desert somewhere, you are a sitting duck for a drone or missile attack!!! It's almost as if our military "leaders" and our current senile commander-in-chief want our military so weakened that we will lose all future wars... Hmmmm...

Don’t go, Boss! That’s my strong advice to President Trump as he prepares to deliver a speech in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday at his alleged “think tank,” the America First Policy Institute (AFPI). Yes, it is important for President Trump to have a well-credentialed stable of policy experts capable of both building a 2024 platform and finding solid MAGA talent to populate a new Trump Administration. But the AFPI Trojan Horse—whose leadership is now bragging about how it will staff Trump’s “shadow cabinet”—is decidedly not that.

A poll conducted by University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics shows nearly one-third of American voters believe they may have to take up arms against the United States government. The poll of 1,000 registered voters was conducted from “May 19 to May 23 among 1,000 registered voters.

Neocon and rabid anti-Trumper Bill Kristol took to Twitter on Monday to suggest Democrats recruit left-wing pop star John Legend to replace President Joe Biden in 2024, calling the “So High” singer “our version of [Ukraine President Volodymyr] Zelensky.” “I’ve been saying for a while that we need as our next president our version of the admirable Volodymyr Zelensky,” Kristol wrote. “Today I got another ‘personal message’ — i.e., mass e-mail — from @johnlegend on behalf of Democrats.” “Which leads me to ask: When Biden steps aside — John Legend in 2024?” the political commentator added.

On Monday, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot proposed a $900 million to $2.2 billion Hail Mary offer to convince the Bears to stay in their home stadium of over 50 years. However, the Chicago Bears stated in a press release earlier this month that they wouldn’t consider any other offers, even for their home stadium, Soldier Field. The NFL team reaffirmed that sentiment to ESPN this week, noting that they were set on moving to another location over 30 miles away. “As part of our mutual agreement with the seller of that property, we are not pursuing alternative stadium deals or sites, including renovations to Soldier Field,

On July 13, 2021, I blew the whistle at Legal Insurrection on how a new Critical Race curriculum in the Providence, Rhode Island, middle school where I taught was creating racial hostility, turning students and staff against me because I was white, and turning students against their country. My students, almost all of whom were minority, started calling me “America” because I was white — You are America, they would say, we are not. (Snip) My story gained national print and television coverage, and even international media attention. What followed was a year of retaliation, harassment, intimidation, and involuntary transfer to another school where there was no teaching position for me.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that if he could change anything about his response to the coronavirus pandemic, he would have recommended that the government impose “much, much more stringent restrictions” during the spring of 2020. On Monday’s edition of Rising, Fauci told hosts Robby Soave and Batya Ungar-Sargon that if he “knew in 2020 what I know now, we would do a lot differently.” “The insidious nature of spread in the community would have been much more of an alarm, and there would have been much, much more stringent restrictions in the sense of very, very heavy
