The Leopard 5 has a powerful generator and two powerful front/rear motors. Its maximum power generation can reach 150kW, which is enough for the front and rear motors. Even when stationary, its power generation reaches 20kW. The vehicle provides powerful electrical output like a diesel generator. Leopard 5 = an electric off-road vehicle + a powerful generator.
