Just months after adding 100 electric cars for non-emergency duty, the Los Angeles Police Department plans to test a Tesla sedan as a patrol car, a department official said Friday.
The large battery capacity of the Tesla sedan, affording it both high performance and longer range, sets it apart from the smaller electric cars on the market. However, the cost of the batteries puts the Tesla in the realm of luxury cars.


Both Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and LAPD Chief Charlie Beck have pledged themselves to a goal of reducing reliance on fossil fuels by expanding use of electric vehicles, which also offer potential savings in operational expenses.

The deployment of the fleet of BMW i3 electrics has gone well, said Vartan Yegiyan, who oversees LAPD's vehicles as assistant commander of the Administrative Services Bureau.
