"Electric vehicles are a newer concept for police departments and we understand that further development will likely be necessary for these vehicles to function full-time in a police fleet," the post read.
The department does not currently have plans to replace the remainder of its fleet of hybrid and internal combustion engine cruisers with EVs.
