I do, been doing it for a long time. I prefer a ranger or similar little UTV that can be refueled with a jerry can in five minutes and not require more equipment to be purchased and supplied to the military to facilitate charging.
Who's using jerry cans on most bases? I'm not talking "field" uses, which usually have generators anyway. I mean established bases, both CONUS and OCONUS.
As a Supply Chief, I can tell you electrifying the GV fleet is going to make EVERYONE'S life easier. It's more paperwork and effort to refill a Ranger than plug in a cart. We already have plenty of infrastructure to plug-in, it's really not hard to wire in a charger either. Yes, you need more plugs, but that's the easy part. Hard part is teaching resistant members to plug the damn things in. I experienced this firsthand in 5th Fleet switching from those damn Rangers to GEMs. Fuel chits? No thank you, just plug it in next to the shoretie.
