The Walsall police car will used by the Community Safety Team and based at the force’s HQ in Green Lane for the next 12 months.

The vehicle is a fully-electric city car with a top speed of 81 mph (not much good behind my scooby then) and a range of 100 miles. It can be trickle-charged from flat to full in seven hours at any UK three-pin socket, costing under £1 for a full charge.

In addition the i-MiEV can be fast-charged from flat to 80 per cent in 30 minutes.

I wonder if they will be knocking your door with an extension lead asking for a bit of leccy to get them to the cafe? :laughing: :laughing:

Not exactly “a quick response vehicle” then?

Imagine the scene as they come to a screeching halt from 20 mph shouting we’re the community safety team son and we have’nt had any dinner.That’s definitely the right motor for the PC Police. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Guvnor should’nt we give up the chase because our carbon footprint must be going through the roof and I’m sure I saw a 20 mph limit sign back there. :laughing: :laughing:

I hazard a bet that it would beat your “Scooby” from a standing start…

Let’s hope that you’re not going to put a lot of money on that bet unless he lets that toy motor have an eighth of a mile head start at Santa Pod. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

only problem there is that it does 100 miles my old scooby (sti ra) used to like visiting every fuel station like someone on a pub crawl so hmm… still prefer the scooby

Scooby (sti red top import) does about 23mpg tootling about and god know how many when I drive it hard plus it only runs on shell optimax, she pinks and ■■■■■ when I put “normal” fuel in so I have to plan journeys around shell stations. Wouldn’t have it any other way :smiley:

Here she is:
