The BMW i4, which has a range of 590km and can be fully charged in two hours, will be used as a motorway patrol car. The BMW i4 successfully met performance requirements for an operational vehicle while fulfilling carbon reduction targets and fitting within existing project funding. “This is not about testing the BMW... it’s about testing an electric vehicle in the police fleet,” Coster said.
