It is reported that the Americans already have several options for such electric vehicles. The highest priority of them is a vehicle weighing up to 3,6 tons, capable of carrying a payload of up to two tons.
According to Voennoye Obozreniye, they intend to equip the future armored electric vehicle with an MK-19 grenade launcher and an M2 machine gun of .50BMG caliber (12,7 × 99 m). They can also install Javelin anti-tank missile systems on the vehicle.
It is noted that the advantage of an electric vehicle is less visibility in the infrared range. This is an important characteristic in defense against seeker missiles.
The Pentagon also wants an electric armored car to be airborne.
