All-electric squad car makes quiet debut
 

Very cool! I wonder how well it is going to work out for them?

I am wondering how the car is able to be used for a full 8 hr shift without recharge. I mean, what technology does this thing have that can't be used across the board on electric cars to make them more usable to general consumers ? Then again, wonder how much money is in this thing ?!? lol

It is a good start but we all know that, especially in small departments, these cars run 24/7. I wish them the best of luck in further development in the field.

For fun leave me with my GAS GUSLING V8 SSPs.:D

It's neat, but I agree with what has already been said. The technology for these vehicles to truly function in a law enforcement role isn't here yet. That car would be good for admin purposes, but I doubt anything like that could be used for normal patrol work (which sometimes lasts longer than the planned 8, 10 or 12 hour shift, for example). I've never driven one of these, but aren't they a little lacking in the acceleration department?

electric powered cars in general are not necesarrily lacking in acceleration. Most electric motors used in cars are torque monsters. i don't know the performance specs of this car but like most have said, it aint gonna cut it for day-in, day-out use. Nice publicity piece, though.

Richard....I was just in Arizona for a short turn around. We trailered the four post lift
down from Idaho and I needed some help!

You never called! Nice lift. Are you keeping all the cars here now ?

The Majority will be in Arizona...... Also I am in need of a Three car transport to Black
Canyon City. and would appreciate any help in locating a reliable set up. here is the
Craig's list ad i recently placed.

The ideal situation would be to find someone that is going north with a load and is empty
on the return. any help would be appreciated oh the 85ssp will someday be in AZ but it's
on the list of the last group of cars.:( I may drive it down:D

wish me luck. i am headed to AZ in the morning following a three car hauler down with three of my cars!
The SSP will be in the Spring load of cars. I have a garage for the mustangs
but have to build shelves first.:)

I hope the trip goes well and without any incident as far as anything hitting a car while on transport.
