Today, the city of South Pasadena, California unveiled the nations first ever all-electric police fleet, featuring 20 Teslas.
The 20 Teslas are expected to save about $4,000 a year per vehicle on energy costs ($80k per year), city officials said.
Police vehicles typically idle more than other vehicles as officers make traffic stops or respond to emergency calls. The gasoline engines must continue to run just to power the cars' emergency lights, radios, and other equipment used in police cars. In contrast, EVs are emissions-free while driving.
A bank of 34 new electric vehicle chargers have been installed at South Pasadena City Hall to service the fleet.
