Are EVs more cost effective for police departments compared to ICE vehicles?

Are you going to add a push bar up front?

Pretty expensive Pit Manuever vehicle but a Rivian would definitely be up to the challenge if Rivian removed the top speed limiter. Those Hellcat Charger boys running would be in for a real suprise trying to outrun a pusher equipped Rivian Quad.

New gen patrol units are all Chevy Tahoe. I’m seeing a lot of them. They’re V8.
Easy to refuel.
EV patrol vehicles could be coming but not a lot

yes, EV is a cost savings proposition for municipal duty - fuel costs are #1 expense, and all the 'idling' to power the lights and equipment is unnecessary on the EV.

We are happy to help any potential client model through specific cost scenarios.

They would outrun the Rivian all day long with the top speed limiter in place.

Like any tool, depends on how it's used. Not all police cars are used for patrol and traffic enforcement. Some are used by investigators and K9 units, who are not typically involved in chases or driving many miles per day. And overall, they could potentially cost less to operate. When idling, EVs don't use much energy. They also require less maintenance per each operating hour.
