"The Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO) is providing rebates toward the installation of Level II charging stations (for electric cars). Rebates cover 50% of equipment and installation (materials and labor) costs up to the following caps: $3,750 per networked single station; $3,000 per non-networked single station; $7,500 per networked dual station; and $6,000 per non-networked dual station. The maximum possible total rebate award is $49,000 or 50% of the total project cost for up to 15 stations, whichever is less.
Eligible applicants for this rebate program include: units of government, businesses, educational institutions, non-profits, and individual residents. EV charging stations must be purchased and installed prior to submitting a rebate application" (source of information: illinois.gov - April 2014).

"Westward Industries' 100% Electric GO-4EV is now available for parking enforcement, light patrol, and campus security. The GO-4EV has a very similar overall feel to the GO-4 gas version currently operated by many fleet departments in the U.S., but it's fully electric with zero emissions" (source of information: policemag.com - May 2014).

"The Connellsville, PA Police have converted an Impala police car to electric power. Taking one Crown Victoria out of service will save about $4,000 in fuel annually. When less maintenance requirements are factored in, savings could pay for an electric-powered substitute.
Most of law enforcement is well aware of electrically assisted bicycles, Segway Personal Transporters and T3 Mobility Vehicles. Some agencies are already using them to augment and replace patrolling on foot. There many other electric-powered vehicles available now that should be considered because they can replace a fuel guzzling, V-8-powered patrol car for some duties" (source of information: hendonpub.com - Jan/Feb 2009).

"Renault electric police vehicles in Europe and Ford Fusion hybrids favored by the New York Police Department represent two other type of cop cars that save law enforcement agencies money on fueling. Most police activity involves cruising through neighborhoods with frequent stops. The excellent economy of electric vehicles in urban settings never made more sense" (source of information: wallstcheatsheet.com - September 2014).
------------------------------
An electric cop car is an eco-friendly vehicle that saves time and labor for police officers who can efficiently manage time by charging their nifty cars in shifts at police station charging posts instead of having to refuel petroleum-based vehicles in civilian-manned gas stations in times of emergency or crisis.
Creating interest and gauging policy and funding for such police-related infrastructure represents a modern age focus on 'energy policy-making.'
