A lot of our police are parked doing radar traps. Rather than idling an engine, this seems like a pretty good use for an EV. They sit, then drive 1/2 a mile to pull someone over, then sit again. Also good for detail cops that sit idle for 8hr. It may not be able to replace all cop cars, but it wouldn’t be terrible to…

Isn’t “the way cop cars are driven” actually a lot of sitting around and idling?

I moved to California 22…

Not sure you realize this but your comment is homophobic. Just being real with you, no vitriol intended.
