The first American police car was an electric wagon used by the Akron Police Department of Ohio in 1899. More than a century later, we’re now witnessing a shift of cop cars from gas-guzzlers to EVs as part of the global automotive transformation. Various police departments all across the country are now prioritizing electric cars. Ford and Chevrolet are already offering electric cop cars. The remainder of the big three is expected to follow soon with the upcoming Dodge Charger EV or RAM 1500 REV. However, the transition is gradual and for the most part, American police cars are still gas-powered, along with a few hybrids and EVs. The country’s police force has predominantly preferred American cars as their ride of choice, and this continues to be the case. That said, these police-ready fleets of vehicles are specially designed and built with stronger, upgraded components to suit their line of duty. Let’s delve into the detailed list of America’s evolving police fleet and see which are the best cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs. Chevrolet Blazer EV SS PPV • Powertrain: Dual Electric Motors • Output: 557 hp, 648 lb-ft (est) • Highlights: Larger rear cargo capacity, Police-rated tires, Dedicated electrical center, Standard upfitter wiring harnesses Chevy has been tweaking their models into law-enforcement vehicles for more than 60 years now. The upcoming Chevrolet Blazer EV SS Police Pursuit Vehicle is their first all-electric police-ready vehicle. The Chevrolet Blazer EV PPV is a puissant electric SUV underpinned by the GM Ultium platform. The SS is its range-topping trim propelled by a dual-motor AWD powertrain. Chevy claims that the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS will hit 60 mph in under 4 seconds and offer a range of around 290 miles. The cop-ready version of the Blazer will come equipped with specialized hardware including skid plates, police-rated tires, steel wheels, and additional emergency equipment support. 108 The BLUES
