British Police Admit Electric Vehicles are Useless for Police Work Eric Worrall UK Police Lego. Rob Young from United Kingdom [ CC BY 2.0], via Wikimedia Commons (image modified)Guest essay by Eric Worrall h/t Breitbart; Police forces in Britain are facing questions over the waste of millions of pounds purchasing electric vehicles which are not up to the job of chasing criminals or responding to emergency situations. Police ‘waste’ £1.5MILLION on electric cars that they admit are useless for chasing criminals because they ‘can’t go fast enough or far enough without a battery change’ Reports found cars do not meet demands of urgent response or pursuit drivingForces have bought at least 448 environmentally-friendly vehicles to help them However almost all cars and vans are being used in non-emergency situationsBy MARTIN BECKFORD FOR THE DAILY MAIL PUBLISHED: 09:04 AEDT, 24 December 2019 \| UPDATED: 10:45 AEDT, 24 December 2019 Police have spent millions of pounds on electric cars they admit are useless for chasing suspects or rushing to help victims.

Any police chief with a minute of operational experience must have known upfront that electric vehicles were useless – but they all went ahead and bought hundreds of the things. When historians look back at our time, it won’t be the delusions of impending eco-doom which define us, it will be the mind boggling waste, the cash expenditures authorized by politicians and senior executives who knew upfront what they were buying would not work, but paid the money anyway. wattsupwiththat.com
