I only know of a single ev prototype being looked at by the US military, so it's not like they're going full steam ahead, I'm just saying that for some missions they seem viable. Maybe even preferable ("single use" short range drones perhaps...)
I am humbled by your chess of many D's.
You don't even need to support anything older than the last windows hot fix with requirements like that.
The bar is low, feel free to use it as a step ladder.
Seriously, some are so bad you could probably use their exhaust as fuel with a little work.
Cold temps: only where it's cold, can be mitigated through design, mostly only affects range. Diesel ceases to be liquid at cold temperatures, and much engineering has gone into making it and engines that run on it viable in cold weather. Most EV manufacturers have already figured out decent civilian tech solutions to this problem for EVs.
rough usage: EV's have less moving parts, less fluids, can have their parts better sealed against the environment (less need for air cooling overall) and don't "breathe" oxygen like ICE do. It's a lot easier to ruggedize things that move less, and low weight doesn't seem to be a high priority for most military vehicles.
low infrastructure: Logistics wins wars, this is a problem for gas vehicles too, and you either have the supply lines you need, or you don't. EV's make a lot more sense for operations within range of a base, obviously, but a base that can make its own power (either solar or nuclear) that fuels its defensive and patrol vehicles without an oil supply would be slightly more self sufficient. (Which is moot anyway, because humans need food). The military already contends with vulnerable infrastructure as well. This is an example of how fuel (and water) is often stored on US bases.
Water immersion: Yeah, combustion engines hate this too. Motors and battery packs can be sealed, an engine cannot be since it needs to consume air to function.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one.
I think the point is that humanity 2.0 might believe the sea gods will reward your undying bloodlust and through many murders, you may be rewarded with eternal battle in the under halls.
But humanity 2.0 will always discover that the earth revolves around the sun the same way we did, and that whatever math they derive will provide the same answers as ours.
like, even bash, cat, ls, etc?

There should be secret laws you have to unlock by doing unfathomably inhumane things.
"You chased a homeless person in their own car off your completely unutilized property for no reason other than malice. You've been sentenced to 12 hours of fighting a flock of geese naked while locked in a middle school gym."
