Ford is now toying with all-electric, purpose-built law enforcement vehicles. The Dearborn base automaker said today that  a vehicle with an electric powertrain stand up to demanding police duty cycles. Ford is submitting an all-electric police pilot vehicle based on the 2021 Mustang Mach-E SUV for testing as part of the Michigan State Police 2022 Model Year Police Evaluation on Sept. 18 and 20.

Ford said it will use the pilot program testing as a benchmark while it continues to explore purpose-built electric police vehicles in the future.

Law enforcement demand for all-electric vehicles is growing globally because of the dire climate change crisis and increasing regulations banning fossil fuel vehicles. Last week, Ford introduced a new Mustang Mach-E police concept car in the United Kingdom.
