Ford's EV police vehicle concept
« on: January 05, 2022, 08:30:34 PM »

In a not unsurprising development, Ford is developing an EV police cruiser concept based upon their Mach E electric car. This has generated a funny reply on the Royal Enfield forum, where long-stroke, 500cc single cylinder motorcycles are seen as the ultimate development of motorcycle technology.  ;)

Shocking! If you get stopped a second time, do you get recharged? If you bump into the Police EV, is that a case of battery? If the cops are non-binary, does that make it an AC/DC cruiser? Enquiring minds need to know...

Here in the UK they've been trialling Teslas. Don't think it can be beat for performance for the same money

In one of the cities east of SF, they confiscated a Tesla Model S from a drug dealer, gave it a police paint job and then used it for both patrolling and for display at community events. I haven't heard too much about it lately. The last I heard they were chasing someone and ran out of juice. But then these things only make the news when something like that happens.  ;)
