With the quiet powertrains of EVs, it's not hard to imagine police officers using them to silently creep up on perps.
New Yorkers will already be familiar with the Mustang Mach-E, as some taxi companies operating in the city already use them, naturally in a shade of yellow. One of those companies is Gravity which has both the Mustang Mach-E and the Tesla Model Y in its fleet.for its police cruisers. This grade offers up 480 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque, as well as an EPA-rated 270 miles of range. DCAS also said it has installed 29 fast chargers for use by the NYPD, as well as 103 fast chargers for public use.
The electric crossovers replace aging internal-combustion powered models in the 6,200-vehicle NYPD fleet. The number of electric vehicles will be gradually increased until they make up the entire fleet by around 2035, according to DCAS. “This order of all-electric Mach-Es will enable our law enforcement agencies to put electric models to the full test and work out maintenance, lights and sirens, charging, and other operational issues,” Keith Kerman, DCAS deputy commissioner, said in a statement. “It is a critical step towards our goal of a fully electric fleet.
Ford, which is among the leading suppliers of police vehicles in the country, is yet to reveal what modifications its police-spec Mustang Mach-Es feature, apart from the obvious items like sirens and flashing lights. Note, the Mustang Mach-E isn't the NYPD's first electric cruiser. The department last year started testing a Tesla Model 3 that had been converted for police duty. DCAS has hinted it may order up to 250 of the electric sedans.
