is it range anxiety that drives using a gas motor versus battery pack and solar panels?
It takes more energy per mile for a walker versus a car, so apparently batteries are ruled out so far.
Solar is not an option in practical transportation. The energy yield per surface area is way too low.
So then no AT-AT or AT-ST walkers because of the same problems. Better stick to tanks instead.
Tanks are not exactly solar or battery driven either, am not quite sure what is your point.
