The police department partnered with EFM to roll out a fleet of 20 Tesla electric vehicles, reflecting the city’s dedication to sustainability and innovation. To make the switch, EFM assisted the city in acquiring 10 Tesla Model Ys as patrol vehicles and 10 Tesla Model 3s for detective and administrative duties. The cars were up-fitted for patrol and administrative police use through Unplugged Performance’s UP.FIT division.
The transition is expected to save about $4,000 a year per vehicle on energy costs, plus additional savings on maintenance, such as brakes, oil changes, air filters and more.
