We All Know EVs Save Money, But Electric Lasers Save Big, Big Money

One of the great things about EVs is that they can save money. Nobody’s going to save money buying the highest-end EVs, obviously, but we’re to the point where budget EVs have a lower total cost of operation than comparable ICE Vehicles. Why? Because ICE vehicles need refilled with an expensive consumable liquid, while EVs can be recharged using cheap energy that can come from a variety of sources (fossil fuels, nuclear, renewables).

But, militaries around the world are finding that they’ve got an even bigger cost problem that can be fixed by going electric. High-end weapons that protect free people from terror attacks often use a very, very expensive consumable that can’t economically compete with what terror groups are throwing at them. But, going electric can turn this situation around and take the economic advantage away from terrorists.
