The high prices I quoted are mostly because of all the little things that you have to do along with it. A Duramax or Cummins engine, used, to go into an HMMWV can be purchased for $5-10k, depending on miles/condition. The rest of the cost is labor to do the conversion (which can be substantial)...

The biggest downside is you're looking at the cost of something like a duramax conversion to do this conversion as well. Is it really worth putting a $40-50k or more conversion in a $10k truck, that would maybe be worth $20-30k when everything is complete? (No idea if this is how the pricing...

An electric motor develops peak torque at stall. A chemical fuel powered engine doesn't develop torque until it's spinning at a high enough speed to efficiently intake air/fuel and compress it, then explode it. Basically the difference is for the electric motor you'll have your power highest...

It's a lot easier to carry fuel cans than it is to find an outlet. Then again, you can always just tow a 15k or larger single phase generator (do they sell a 3 phase charger?) and then be back into the same boat. The other hand once you dump fuel in you can go driving again immediately, with...

It really depends on what you use your HMMWV for. It wouldn't work for me because I tend to do heavy towing a lot mixed with long drives. Unless I wanted to take my generator with me everywhere to keep it charged up I'd be stranded a lot. Now if someone was building something like a rock...
