The Grand-Ducale police in Luxembourg will soon be
using a couple of Tesla Model S electric vehicles as patrol cars. The announcement was made by RTL, as quoted
by Electrek, and it's part of a program of the Ministry of Sustainable
Development, which is looking to change the internal combustion cars, used by
government, with EVs.
It's still unknown, at this point, what version of
the Tesla Model S the police department will go for. However, all variants are
faster and more powerful than regular police cars, and their zero-emission
range shouldn’t be a concern either, considering that the country is only 82 km long, and 57 km wide.
By purchasing the two Tesla Model S EVs for police
duties, Luxembourg is following in the footsteps of the LAPD, which took
delivery of 100 BMW i3s last year, and two Model S sedans.
