One consideration we must eventually face is going to total EV police departments. I mean the police do buy their vehicles from those available. The design of the dems is to get gas and diesel vehicles off the road.

There will be problems, you know. Assuming the police car has a 300 mile range, that’s just about 6 hours of driving time. In addition, some time should be reserved for the possible chase, or simply the 911 call near the end of the shift.

In addition, police cars generally need more electric power anyway. Also, hopefully, the police cars should be a little better than non police cars.

Another thing to take note of is that while a car is being charged, it will be out of service. Typically, this might mean a 50 thousand dollar auto will be out of service during recharging. This would likely mean one additional car would be needed for each 6 cars needed for a police department.

And, of course, after solving these problems for EV police cars, we will need to start working on ambulances and fire trucks. By the way, has anyone started thinking of all the charging stations that will be needed?

I hope someone has given some thought about the loading on the electric grid. I mean, I know those police cars and fire trucks will need to be changed, but I assure you I also need my air conditioning. I won’t be the only one.
