Electric Skoda Police Car: Free Operation for the Future

Municipal police Vítkov (Moravian -Silesian Region) until recently used Dacia Duster 4 × 4, but after years of operation, the car began to be expensive for service, so this year it was replaced by the basic Škoda Elroq 50.

The rear -drive SUV offers 170 hp, a 55 kWh traction battery and a standard range of 347 to 377 km per charge.

The reason for the acquisition was mainly the economy of operation. Every day, the police officers from Vítkov travel to the circle 50 km, in the villages usually go step, often stand somewhere and patrol, however, if necessary, at a sharp exit must step on it. With Duster cold for cold, Elroqu is more or less one.

Police officers in the garages have a slow stream and usually keep the battery at 80 %, so what they will miss in a few hours in a few hours.

In addition, from representatives of the local police, we found that the purchase price of the vehicle was more or less the same as if it were at the damage Karoq, which would be more expensive to operate. The city is also planning to build photovoltaics, so in the summer months the electroauto will run virtually free in terms of energy costs.

Police SUV designed for driving around the city, the surrounding villages, to the cottages and for sharp service is wearing lighthouses and inside a reading lamp. This is all of the non -standard equipment.

Certainly, in connection with the Municipal Police and the electric car, you will think of a camp where they have the second electrical operation (first e-Niro, now the Tesla Model Y), but the Vítkovští went in this respect their own route without inspiration elsewhere. In short, electricity made them most sense in all respects.
