Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Seems like a great application for an EV. Spends most of its time plugged in, and benefits from the extra torque and performance when responding to an emergency.

This would have a really big battery as well. I'm not sure how much would be needed once you are on the scene, but makes me think they could also use it as an emergency power source on location.
