#1 | Ford's police EV concept datum

Wed Jan 05, 2022 3:40 pm

In a not unsurprising development, Ford is developing an EV police (or using the BMW term "authority") cruiser concept based upon their Mach E electric car. This has generated a funny reply on the Royal Enfield forum, where long-stroke, 500cc single cylinder motorcycles are seen as the ultimate development of motorcycle technology.

Shocking! If you get stopped a second time, do you get recharged? If you bump into the Police EV, is that a case of battery? If the cops are non-binary, does that make it an AC/DC cruiser? Enquiring minds need to know...

(I would post a picture of the vehicle however the forum doesn't like the file format. But you can take my word for it that the photo and the angle that it was taken makes the car look pretty slick.)

Current motorcycle collection: 2002 Yamaha FZ1; 2020 KTM 390 Duke; 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500; 2009 BMW F650GS; 2016 BMW R1200RS; 2018 Zero S 16.6 kWh

Actually, it fills a need that the current Ford Interceptor (a hybrid is standard) can't, the needs of a small municipal force covers that only covers 5~8 miles in an hour or a range under 100-miles for a shift. The Hybrid interceptor is tuned for highway/interstate service where long runs will recharge the batteries for surveillance and in-town (low speed) operations.
