How much ELECTRICITY does it take to charge them up, and what Fossil Fueled generation is supplying the power?
Scam-o-Rama
There was one of those parking in two spaces at Rotary last week, one of which I would have liked to use. I gave him a parking turtle.

“cuz you’re a Texan”
Floridian! I was in Texas when I signed up.
Ya, well, Florida rocks too.
Can I swap gavin for ron ?
Please ?!?
I’ll throw in Maxine waters too !
No. They put them through a scheduled run. Below is the urban cycle. Also, they reduce the dyno results by 30% to make it closer to real world.
“This vehicle does have a purpose, although it’s not law enforcement, “
Does LE need pickups?
“Any mention of the TAXPAYER subsidies to the company “
What subsidies?
What company?
“How much ELECTRICITY does it take to charge them up, and what Fossil Fueled generation is supplying the power?”
150 kwhr.
“How much ELECTRICITY does it take to charge them up, “
About $20 worth.
About $100 for the gas version.
It should come with a tow package special. An 8 hour shift in winter with all emergency lights flashing at a vehicle pileup or road closure. The tow points should be on all four sides.
“I’m willing to bet that the range is actually probably only 100 miles if you mash the throttle to attempt that 4.0 sec 0-60 time”
Bingo!
And maybe even go into limp mode to cool the damn thing down.
OJ Simpson was the last car chase that topped out at a steady 50-60 where one of these golf karts might have a chance at keeping up for 50 miles or so.
About $100 for the gas version.
Including TAX subsidies?
Not even close to accurate........add the initial cost+subsidies to cost-per-mile, then face the payoffs and profits to the climate change reality.
Easily hackable. If this becomes wide spread among departments, you will most certainly hear stories about such cars being taken over and stopped by hackers.
I just had a thought. A car thief could hack a self-driving car and steer it straight to the chop shop without even touching it. In effect, the car steals itself.
With no ICE vehicles in production, they will have no choice. That's why I call for every .gov minion to be forced into an EV, NOW. It's for the planet.
It’s the only one they have...................
Sounds exactly like my experience in the Marines with the motorpool.........................
this truck is worthless in law enforcement...
Uh huh.
This vehicle does have a purpose...
F 150 Lightning charging a Mustang Mach E...................
they’re all parked in those pics and range was never given by the manufacturer...
some police cruisers in certain areas run 24 hours a day...
Many are idiots. They actually believe this crap about ‘Global Warming/Climate Change’ and that electric powered vehicles will save us.
I know some of them. They are absolute in their mindset. You cannot change their minds no matter how many ‘facts’ you throw at them. You are a right-wing kook if you don’t believe and behave just as they do.
There is no doubt in my mind they would kill us all if they thought it would save the earth......................
