Connecticut Police Departments Test Out Electric Vehicles — With Some Naysayers In The Crowd

Credit to Author: Carolyn Fortuna| Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2024 14:58:26 +0000

What great news it was to learn that a handful of police departments in Connecticut are piloting electric vehicles (EVs) for their workday needs.

In recent posts to his social media site, Elon Musk took aim at a tough target: the Lockheed-Martin F-35 Lightning II. Not only is it stealthy (something Musk claims to have a workaround for), but he also thinks it’s a monetary boondoggle that his unofficial “government agency” should try to get … [continued]

Recently, I came across a post on X/Twitter that I know will be retweeted (or reposted, or whatever) a bunch of times by anti-EV propagandists. Why? Because everyone knows that EVs can’t handle the cold! It has been 2.5 hours and these vehicles going westbound on I-90 have not moved. … [continued]
