- fragmede 2y agothat's a much better link. the F150 Lightning has much more going for it as a police EV.
- saagarjha 2y agoI don’t really want cops to have massive trucks.
- bravetraveler 2y agoThey, uh, get surplus military equipment. Don't worry though, comms are removed. Eyeroll.jpg
- schiffern 2y agoI don't really want them to have that either.
- bravetraveler 2y agoI figured, just having 'fun'. Sharing is caring
- whoitwas 2y agoWhy? I'm very ignorant of the market. Can these vehicles run for 8 - 12 hours consecutively? The maintenance costs must be absurd. I wonder how often the tires must be swapped with this amount of constant wear and tear?
- wakawaka28 2y agoThe answer is no, there isn't an EV on the market suitable to be a police vehicle, much less competitive with petrol vehicles. It barely makes sense for even 25% of the population to use EVs, even in ideal conditions with home charging and subsidies, and not accounting for potential extreme weather and evacuations.
