Electric Police Car
August 28, 2007 by Rob.
A friend found a blog entry about an electric police car. I like the idea of gas free patrols, but it sounds just like any other EV conversion: passion to do something was the main rationale. I got a chance to show the RAVolt to our City Police during National Night Out. While their main reaction was amusement at the “frankencar,” they were also impressed that the car actually worked. Now, they wave at me when I coast past their speed traps.
Even with this glowing article, I doubt that the police in my area are going to run out an start ordering EV patrol cars.
