The East Bay Times newspaper reported that a Fremont police officer in the Tesla Model S, which the department bought in March, became involved in a police pursuit Friday but radioed dispatch to say that the electric vehicle warned that it had only 6 miles of battery life left and that he may not be able to continue in the chase.

EVs have much faster acceleration. A full feature Tesla S can beat a 12 cylinder muscle car in a sprint.

Running out of gas, however, is not newsworthy.

When electric cars are mandatory, only criminals will have gas powered cars.

I wonder how hardened they are to EMP? Would a re-purposed magnetron tube and a traffic cone lined with aluminum foil do the trick?
