First electric vehicle makes its way to Dubai Police’s luxury patrol fleet

Catching the bad guys — sustainably: The Dubai Police General Command (DPGC) added the first electric vehicle to its luxury patrol fleet, WAM said yesterday. The first EV that made its way into the DPGC’s fleet is the Chinese-manufactured Hongqi E-HS9. The sports utility vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in five seconds (for those high speed chases). Its battery can be fully charged in 6-8 hours, and the car can travel almost 440 km on one full charge.
