Tesla Y Packaged for Police Departments - IT SAVES TAXPAYERS MONEY
Upfitting Public Safety Vehicles, there is more choice than ever to obtain quality products quickly at budget strapped pricing. Electric Vehicles are here to save the world.
A police department in California has decided to convert its entire patrol fleet to all-electric vehicles using the Tesla Model Y and Model 3.
There is an impressive number of police departments around the world realizing that electric vehicles are the perfect solution to both reduce the operating cost and the environmental impact of their patrol vehicles.
While we have seen many police departments start to convert their patrol fleet, we haven’t seen any make the jump to only using all-electric vehicles until now. The South Pasadena Police Department announced that it will be the first (via Pasadena Star News):
The South Pasadena Police Department will become the first such agency in the nation to convert its entire police fleet to electric vehicles, authorities said Monday, May 8.
The department decided to use a grant to help them buy 10 Tesla Model Y vehicles and install nine level 2 charging stations and even a DC fast-charger. South Pasadena Councilmember Michael Cacciotti commented:
“We will be putting our officers in the safest and most effective police vehicles on the market. In addition to that, we will be investing in technology that will help reduce harmful vehicle emissions to improve air quality for all our residents. This effort will provide a model for other jurisdictions; we can build a 21st century police force, save significant resources and clean the air at the same time.”
On top of that, the police department is looking at some significant savings based on what other PDs have announced.
The Somerset PD was one of the first police departments to buy a Model Y to use as a police patrol, and they believe that a single Model Y could save them $80,000 over 10 years due to gas savings and lower maintenance costs.
