i wonder how long they can maintain hot pursuit...
I miss the Crown Vic.
More and better equipment won’t make up for pro-criminal courts, absentee fathers, and handcuffed police.
Battery packs have been known to spontaneously combust ie...they "cook off".
It’ll probably catch the other vehicles in the fleet on fire at some point.
These agencies will certainly get to field test every EV imaginable.
A car very few agencies want. Except for the woke retards. And even they will figure out how useless they are in short order. In a year they will take the lights and equipment out and hand it over to parking enforcement.

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.
How economical will these be with the New Green Deal electricity at a dollar or two per kWh? As I’ve noted before, I live on the Ohio River and see coal fired plants closing like falling dominos. I live within ten miles of the Moscow Ohio generating plant. In the 80s this was built and 90% complete as a nuclear plant. The China Syndrome liars in DC shelved it. At great cost it was converted to coal and has provided me with cheap electricity since. Last month the DC liar, Obama, and his lies finally caught up with it and the plant shut down permanently. Obama got three others within 50 miles of me. It’s pretty apparent that they really do intent to run the country on solar and wind, suffering people be damned.
In times gone by, cops were considered fairly level-headed folks.
An all-electric cop vehicle is as daffy as calling Rachel Levine a real woman.
So how long can an EV go in the field without an 3 hour recharge ?
Good enough to be the new Bluesmobile?
Useless
Electric vehicles can not function in Northern States during winter.
The batteries are drained quickly in low temps and in far Northern locations, Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, both Dakotas, Minnesota temps can get well below zero for weeks during mid winter.
This is a recipe for disaster. Not just for owners of these vehicles.
Ford will want a bail out when sales fall and fail.
Are these the same one’s that were recalled for potential battery fires?
Those will blow up real good.
This vehicle does have a purpose, although it’s not law enforcement, or even transportation (unless really stuck).
It’s capable of using its power as backup for home power, either to deal with blackouts, or for batteries to go along with solar. The ‘truck’ (more like a battery on 4 wheels) costs less than half of what a Tesla Powerwall costs, for the same amount of energy storage - so it makes sense to buy this, for that one reason.
Otherwise, stick with the real thing.
Could Elwood take that over an open bridge?
