During a recent speech he delivered at the California Republican Party's fall convention, Former President Donald Trump expressed his skepticism towards the Biden administration's push for electrified tanks and planes.

The U.S. Army's plan to develop electric combat vehicles by 2050, as reported by The Washington Post, received criticism from the former president. In his speech, Trump questioned the feasibility of an all-electric army tank, stating that it falls short in terms of recharging capabilities and traveling distance.

Despite its shortcomings, Trump highlighted the administration’s aim to equip the military with environmentally friendly equipment for operations in enemy territories.

Jennifer Granholm, the Secretary of Energy, supported the Department of Defense's initiative to replace non-tactical vehicles with electric ones by 2030. Trump, however, argued against the idea of applying electric technology to military tanks.

He emphasized the importance of power and endurance, suggesting that solely relying on electric power might compromise the performance of the tanks. Trump's concerns hinged on the belief that the United States should prioritize effectiveness and capability in combat rather than solely focusing on environmental aspects.
