Military efficiency? Biden’s electric vehicle push adds hours to routine Marine trip
July 10, 2023
At a small base in southwest Georgia, Marines are regularly tasked with making the roughly nine-hour drive to a much larger site: Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. The trip is routine enough, spanning roughly 520 miles of mostly highway driving. A new Ford F-150 can even complete it on just one tank of gas.
