"It is important to remember this is a concept vehicle for Victoria Police." Victoria Police ] Victoria's hoons are on notice as police introduce their newest addition to their fleet, an electric car that can accelerate from zero to 100km/h in less than three seconds. The all-electric Tesla Model X started being used on Monday for highway patrol duties, in a first for an Australian police organisation. Victoria Police [ https://www.afr.com/link/follow-20180501-p51rgz ] is one of the first jurisdictions in the world to put an all-electric vehicle into its operational fleet. The five-door, five-seat SUV will be trialled across various regions and be constantly assessed while in operation, to test its suitability for road policing duties. Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Stephen Leane said electric cars could well be the future of road policing. "This vehicle is unlike any other Victoria Police has ever had in its fleet," he said on Monday. "It is important to remember this is a concept vehicle for Victoria Police and we acknowledge that it will produce a number of unique circumstances and will continue to evolve as police software is integrated. "Vehicles are obviously critical to the work we do as they represent the mobile office for many of our frontline police. Projects such as these mean that when the switch does inevitably happen, our job of keeping Victorians safe will not be compromised." Mr Leane said there's also a great environmental benefit to electric vehicles, considering state highway patrol vehicles travel thousands of kilometres on the road every year year.
