Five BMW i4 EVs sign up for police service in New Zealand

You know that range anxiety becomes less and less of an issue when electric cars are converted into police cars. Authorities in New Zealand have taken delivery of five BMW i4 models for testing over the next six months. The choice of the BMW i4 eDrive40 is part of a wider program to reduce CO2 emissions and improve the sustainability of the police fleet until the end of the decade. Police Commissioner Andrew Coster said: “This vehicle, the BMW i4, was selected for the trial because of its suitability which most closely matches the police’s operational requirements. The eDrive40 used to be the entry-level version of the BMW i4 until the German luxury brand introduced a lesser eDrive35.
