    World Wide Demand for Electric Police Auto's is growing, Will Ford Deliver On Their Mach-E Police Concept?

      Will Fords Mach-E Police Concept Car live up to the Demands of Police Departments?

    Ford issued their press release late Friday September 17th 2021 as Police departments have been looking for electric purpose-built police vehicles to start replacing older ICE auto's in their fleets.

    Michigan State Police and the United Kingdom will get a chance to run 2022 with a select group of purpose-built police concept Mach-E suvs. So many requests came in from various police agencies in the UK (United Kingdom) that Ford decided to rotate through various agencies there a limited number of concept Mach-E's to be used and for feedback to come in on the auto.

    Michigan State Police will start a evaluation for 2022 on the Mach-E Police Concept. Police departments have always put demanding duty cycles on the cars, trucks and SUVs that they have used and Ford believes that the Mach-E can demonstrate with an electric powertrain that the Mach-E can deliver strong performance while holding up to the demanding duty cycle of police auto's.

    This program while focused on just using the Mach-E clearly shows the direction that Ford is looking to help recover R&D as one can easily see them offering an F-150 Lightning Police Pickup also.

    Ford says this is part of their $30 Billion investment in the electrification of the Ford Portfolio of auto's that will take them through 2025 as they move to an all-electric auto fleet.

      Had a coworker who just bought one as the VW dealership had the fully loaded ID.Buzz with MSRP of $72,595 marked down to $29K with a butt load of VW discounts and the dealer wanted to get rid of it. He said the same thing you did, but at the price, he thinks it will be an awesome local use auto for the family and kids. Totally agree that my EV9 is a far better purchase than this for the original prices.

      This thing was a bust before any tariffs. It has abysmal range, not enough real storage that minivan buyers want, it tried to be too much of a throwback without adding true minivan capabilities, and it was priced far too high for what it offered. 230 miles of range for something like this is ridiculous. I wanted one once they first showed them, but I wouldn't consider something with that kind of range for 60-70k. Name one reason to buy the VW ID.Buzz over your EV6. Looks..? That's about all it has going for it.

      I hate how this looks as of right now. Maybe it will be something that grows on me. I know the current Silverado and HD were hideous to me at the beginning, too, then they grew on me. I'm not sure if this will do that or not, but I don't like it right now.  I'm sure the overall package is stellar and up to the latest standards or creating new standards for EVs.  Also, BMW needs to get their naming in check (along with Merc). This is silly, IMO; BMW iX3 50 xDrive.

      Kia News: 2026 Kia K4 Sedan and Hatchback Pricing Announced - Starting at $22,190, 147-HP Base, 190-HP Turbo Available

      I love how the hatchback looks. The sedan is very "meh", to me. 147hp/132lb-ft sounds super weak so it better be hitting some pretty big mpg numbers mated to a CVT.
