Avon & Somerset police dipping their toe in the EV waters.

Saw this police car this morning pulled up opposite our house. I've seen it about for a couple of months now but never managed to get a photo.

And yes, that's the front of my ZS in the foreground.
Has anyone else seen emergency service EV's?

No, but I saw an electric black cab waiting to charge on the village charger here earlier this week. I'd never have realised it was electric, no green flash on the number plate, looked exactly like any other black cab, except it was waiting in the EV-only parking spot while a Leaf was charging. On my way back the Leaf had gone and the taxi was charging, charging port in the middle front of the vehicle.

I've heard of people using EVs as taxis, but I didn't know they were building the classic black cab in an EV model.

There is a Fully Charged episode on them.
