The South Pasadena Police Department in California has decided to convert its entire patrol fleet to all-electric vehicles using the Tesla Model Y and Model 3, becoming the first such agency in the nation to convert its entire police fleet to electric vehicles.
South Pasadena Councilmember Michael Cacciotti commented: “We will be putting our officers in the safest and most effective police vehicles on the market. In addition to that, we will be investing in technology that will help reduce harmful vehicle emissions to improve air quality for all our residents. This effort will provide a model for other jurisdictions; we can build a 21st century police force, save significant resources and clean the air at the same time.”
