- Tesla vehicles are ready for upfit now, whereas competing brand’s vehicles often have delivery delays between 10-24 months
- Lowest maintenance costs compared to all competing Public Safety or Fleet Vehicles, by nearly 75%
- Tesla Model Y holds the title for safest car in the US, Europe and Australia
- Tesla has the largest supercharging network in the world
- No fuel used for idling. A 2018 Ford Police Interceptor Utility Police car will burn 60% of its gasoline, or 1633 gallons on average, just on idling 1 vehicle. An EV which can maintain climate control and communication operations without any idling costs, creating significant taxpayer savings
- No greenhouse gases emissions in your community. Based on an average 2839 gallons burned per vehicle, per year in a traditional Police Vehicle, converting just one Police Vehicle to EV would reduce pollution by more than 55,000 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year reducing respiratory and other health issues

The data presented in this table provides estimated Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for the listed vehicles over a 5-year period. Estimates are based on publicly available information within the United States. Vehicle information, ratings, and cost inputs are subject to change.
For the most up-to-date information or to compile calculations specific to your fleet, please contact us.
Data Sources and Assumptions:
National averages and approximations were used when necessary.
Fuel consumption estimates are based on published results of police vehicle studies and extrapolated for annual approximations and comparable vehicles.
Patrol vehicle duty cycle calculated for 3x8 or 2x12 hour shifts per day and 20,000 miles/year. Annual average costs for regular gasoline ($3.48/gal) and electricity ($0.18/kWh) for 2024 were obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics bls.gov/data.
Important Notes:
Regional Variations: TCO can vary significantly depending on your location due to factors like (but not limited to) fuel prices, maintenance costs, operating conditions, market forces, and more.
Individual Circumstances: This table is a general comparison and may not reflect the actual TCO for your specific vehicle or fleet. Actual costs will vary based on driving habits, usage patterns, maintenance schedules, and other factors.
Qualitative Assessment: The data should be considered an estimate and not a definitive guide for TCO calculations.
Not for Decision-Making: This table is intended to provide a general understanding of potential TCO differences. It should not be used solely for vehicle selection or fleet management decisions.
Data Limitations: The data may contain errors or omissions despite efforts to ensure accuracy.
Recommendation: For an accurate TCO analysis specific to your fleet, consult with fleet management professionals or use specialized TCO calculation tools that consider your unique operating data.
