New York City mayor Bill de Blasio signed an executive order yesterday that will make it mandatory for more than 20,000 on-road vehicles in the city’s municipal fleet to be electric by 2040. He made the announcement in his annual State of the City address on Thursday.

This will include every garbage truck, ferry, ambulance, police cruiser, bus, car, and vehicle owned and operated by municipal agencies.

Why so fast? Oh yeah its a Democratic administration and they get things done fast and right the first time. But I'll believe it when I see it. After all I'm from Iowa.

@PUG - It's 2040.20 years from now. Most police cars are used only for 2 maybe 3 years. Then they are sold off. So they will go through a lot of police cars before they start making the complete switch to BEV's.
