British police have been testing Tesla Model 3 vehicles as part of its plan to electrify its fleet,reports, noting that a Tesla spokesperson said that the results were promising so far. According to the emergency services lead at Tesla, Max Toozs-Hobson, the early findings are showing great results around the suitability of Model 3 vehicles for emergency service operation.
The UK police, paramedic, and fire services could adopt more Tesla Model 3s based on these positive results. The trial started earlier this year when Tesla offered UK police an adapted and liveried version of its Model 3, the article noted.The UK police are planning to invest in more EVs, and the government recently announced a 2030 ban on new diesel and gas-powered vehicles. Toozs-Hobson noted that Tesla made several adaptations to the car and that these did not impact the vehicle’s range.
There were some challenges presented in the trial run as well. Toozs-Hobson noted that the light bars on emergency vehicles were like running with a parachute on. His suggestion is to integrate police lights into the car cabin in a similar fashion to unmarked police cars. This would reduce drag and the drop in car value that comes from drilling hold into the vehicle roof.
