Brumar, there's no way to electrify an M1 Abrams or an M2 Bradley. The physics just doesn't work.

Maybe the Muskperger can invent a military version of the Cybertruck, but even that will be a logistical nightmare to recharge and maintain.

For example, if the military Cybertruck runs out of fuel out in the war zone, how are we going to recharge it? With a big ass mobile recharging station? And how long will it stay immobile while it gets recharged?

Moreover, what would be the benefits of electrifying light military vehicles like the Cybertruck? Maybe save on fuel costs? Reduce tailpipe emissions, if that has any benefit whatsoever?

Bottom line is that there is no way to electrify our existing military vehicles. Better to save the batteries for stuff that matters, like hover drones, rail guns, or Ukraine's newest anti-drone laser:
