With the quiet powertrains of EVs, it's not hard to imagine police officers using them to silently creep up on perps.
New York City officials have selected the Ford Mustang Mach-E as the latest vehicle to join the city's police fleet.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services said the city plans to order 184 of the electric crossovers for law enforcement and emergency response use, and that the first police-spec examples should be silently stalking the streets by the second half of 2022.
New Yorkers will already be familiar with the Mustang Mach-E as some taxi companies operating in the city have already started using 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 at present offers up 480 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque, as well as an EPA-rated 270 miles of range.
“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 will feature, apart from the obvious items like sirens and flashing lights.
