There's been a big move to SUV's so I wonder if Dodge is just abandoning the Police car market or will promote an EV Police sedan or hybrid sedan. There are still many Highway Patrols who still prefer the sedans but it's hard to say if the market is strong enough for manufacturers.

I would think all electric would be a deterrent for police departments.
These cars will need to be on duty for 8 hours and having take a break from your shift every few hours to charge your car is not an option for most departments which are already stretched thin. Is it an 8 hour run time? I don't even know. We work 10 hour shifts, and I know several agencies that work 12 hour shifts. Seems like all kinds of issues with pure EV's. Idle times eating up more battery, high speeds, etc.

In today's climes they will just buy three cars instead of one. Each car for each shift...

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

The CHP has no plans on going to electric vehicles… we shall see.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

A Tundra four door with a police package? Don't laugh. Once Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and others get their foot in the door, church is out.

[b][/b]. I bought a Zero police bike. Had the guys test ride both models. Most of them rode HD, but they really enjoyed the aspects of it. Zero will be supplying the motors for Polaris line of EV. I am in a liberal area, so the public likes them, in addition to out E bikes, designed for public safet use. Can even add a bang-stick mount.
One small town Marshal office has had a Tesla for a while, but you are talking maybe fifty miles on a shift. Sheriff and State need long range and most have take home policy, so charging at home would be a necessity. New cops are whining babies and their wives are harpies. They would scream if not compensated for the electricity used.
My city that is county seat would likely be the first to embrace EV . My Commissioner President hates the idea of recharging a car on coal supplied electric. Our parking garage is solar powered, and they would prefer those charging stations are used.
