The city of South Pasadena is set to replace its entire police fleet with Tesla models: "It's actually part of our vision statement that we are committed to an environmentally stable future."On Friday, a committee with the Air Quality Management District approved a nearly $500,000 grant for the city of South Pasadena to swap out its entire police fleet for Teslas.
"We looked at a number of options and many of our fleet are at end of life or nearing end of life," said Megerdichian. The city's infrastructure plan also includes installing more electric vehicle charging stations, both for the city and for public use. That plan was made possible through a partnership with Southern California Edison and is set to be finished by the end of 2024.
"It's actually part of our vision statement that we are committed to an environmentally stable future," said Megerdichian. According to the city, residents can see some of the new police Tesla units patrolling the streets in the next month or so.
