Police: Electric Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance her Department issues to police forces on the impact of battery degradation on their electric vehicle fleets.
Answered by Sarah Jones
Decisions around the procurement and deployment of electric vehicles, as well as infrastructure to support them, is a matter for operationally independent Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners, or Mayoral equivalents.
We would expect decisions to be made with consideration to the needs of the force, their local community, and within their existing budget allocation.
