Funny, that's how I first got exposed to EV's back in the 80's. I was working at General Dynamics Land Systems in Michigan. We were working on the designs for the next generation of armored vehicles. The leading plan was for electric motors at each drive sprocket. (Having huge battery-banks also facilitated electric propulsion for tank guns and howitzers.) Of course, these were hybrids which would have had on-board turbines to power generators. Alas, after we won the Cold War and the USSR collapsed, there was no longer any need.
