Well I for one think it is a fantastic idea for the state to buy fleets of F-150 EVs. They start at under $40k, and are perfect for fleets. I'm sure governments across the country have the same idea, but Ford can't make enough electric trucks at the moment.

can you imagine while chasing a criminal the car ran of battery? Or need 1 hour of charging time to continue the chase?

EVs are quicker, and far heavier. Pit maneuvers will never be easier.

How would that be any different than a car that ran out of gas? Has there ever been a time when a cop pulled into a gas station to refuel in the middle of a chase and still caught the guy?

Gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles have a fuel gauge, and EVs have a very sophisticated dashboard read-out showing the percentage of charge remaining, along with the estimated amount of running time remaining on that charge. A sentient person should be able to determine at a glance whether his/her vehicle has sufficient remaining range for the task at hand.

If government agency needs can be met or exceeded by EVs, they should buy them

Why?

Why?
Because the government should be spending OUR money in the best ways possible for the each particular use case.

Agree. And I am referring to the $4000. Are you?


That $4000 IS our money - so ya gotta show that you're getting more than $4000 back from it. That is - the gov't is SAVING at least $4000. Per vehicle.

I am not, and I wasn’t in the first quote you used either. I was responding to someone who was discussing government vehicles.
