      Those ev makers were potential Tesla competitors. If you are getting funding to make an EV jeep, once you are making the product, it’s easy to start marketing it to consumers like Hummer.

    A side note: the M1A2 is already a hybrid electric vehicle. :) The fuel economy is just very, very bad.
