The department received $1.3 million in funding to transition its fleet to EVs
Local authorities will use the Model Y as a pursuit vehicle and the Model 3 as an administrative vehicle. The newly-delivered EVs will be charged at a new bank of chargers at South Pasadena City Hall. Each Tesla is tipped to save $4,000 per annum on energy costs alone. The South Pasadena Police Department says it has become the first to adopt an all-electric police fleet in the U.S., replacing its older vehicles with Tesla Model Ys and Model 3s.
Each Tesla is expected to save roughly $4,000 yearly on energy costs over the ICE models they have replaced. While some pundits have expressed concerns about the range of EVs and their practicality as police vehicles, they do have some advantages. For example, ICE police vehicles need to always be running to power all the tricked-out equipment they use, even if they’re just sitting idle, wasting fuel, and spewing pollutants into the sky. https://twitter.
