General Motors is aiming to become an all-electric brand, and that could include military vehicles one day.

The automaker's GM Defense unit has unveiled a prototype for an electric version of the Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) it is building for the U.S. Army.
The high-performance truck is based on the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 and normally powered by a 2.8-liter turbodiesel, but the four-cylinder engine has been replaced with the eCrate electric drivetrain conversion kit GM will soon be offering as an aftermarket product for custom car builders.
GM installed the eCrate into a 1977 K5 Blazer to demonstrate it.
