DRAMA

These are probably money savers in the long-run. Less maintenance and way less energy wasted when idling which is 90% of a cop's day. When I idled for an hour in an EV with the AC blasting, it used up less than 2% of the battery. Doing it in a gas car would have used up 0.5-1 gallon of gas.

Interesting, maybe ev makes sense for their use case. Plus acceleration!

Depends on how much down time the vehicle needs to charge and how much max charge it will lose each year.

Battery degradation isn't that big an issue since EV battery packs aren't like your phone battery and have active battery management systems to keep batteries at the optimal temperature and current. (Except the Nissan Leaf. Those EV's have issues with battery longevity.) Just about all major EV manufacturers offer 8 year, 100,000 mile battery warranties for a reason.
Most cop cars are just sitting still for basically the whole day and they're not in use 24/7/365. Incorporating slow charging into them sitting at a corner for half a day would be a breeze. This city is already building out curbside chargers. My neck of the woods got 3 stations with 6 charging cables and the cops in the neighborhood can just change where they idle their car by a block or two if they need a charge.

Dunkin looking at the EV charging spots to plan future store locations.

The police should still be using their vehicles from the 80s!

If their policies from the 80s are good enough for today, then yes, so are the cars.

Yea let’s get rid of body cams too!

If we can send the cops with them, I’m all for it!

Don't worry, this only costs 2 year of funding from a school.
Don't you feel safer already?

DoE budget: $40 billion (highest ever) despite a 10% enrollment decline since 2019.
clientsoup t1_jdco4l5 wrote
Should be even higher!
Grass8989 t1_jdcqa6b wrote
Okay, let’s not pretend schools are “defunded” tho, which seems to constantly be pushed on here.

Just because the DOE has a higher budget, doesn’t mean the schools are seeing that money.
Grass8989 t1_jdd8cd2 wrote
So we should be talking about allocating the money properly, if that’s the case.
-_SophiaPetrillo_- t1_jdd8vsu wrote
Correct. But the schools are defunded. So please don’t pretend like they aren’t. Unless the money gets to the actual schools, they don’t have it.
Daddy_Macron t1_jdcqxhk wrote
At a certain point we should actually try to get our money's worth because it seems like the DOE does a terrible job of actually producing results, especially the Administrative staff that is just bloated at this point.

So should the test results with that kind of funding

Doesn't mean they don't need new police cars
