I'm not sure why this is even newsworthy. An officer forgot to put the cruiser on the charger at the end of his shift so it ran low. The department even stated this happens all the time with gas powered cruisers.
It doesn't matter if it takes less time to fill up with gas than charge the car if the officer only noticed it's low mid-chase.

- happytoexplain 7y agoThis comparison is incredibly tired. People may scrutinize electric cars unfairly, but there are real scrutinies to be made, and you can't just wave everybody away by calling them luddites. I also find the choice of comparison to smack of superiority, which is the last thing techno-progressives need more of in their public image.

- Gibbon1 7y agoTalked to a cop once. He said one way of dealing with a fast cars during a chase was to break it off after a while. Smarter ones will abandon the car. Dumb ones will head to a gas station to fill their tank and that's were you pop them.
