The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) must exhibit a preference for the lease or procurement of motor vehicles with electric or hybrid electric propulsion systems, including plug-in hybrid systems. Tactical vehicles designed for use in combat are excluded from the requirement. DOD must establish regulations to implement the electric vehicle preference. (Reference 10 U.S. Code 2922g)
