Probably reluctant to use the electric cars because they can only go 80-100 miles on a charge, and have to be returned to BMW at the end of the lease.
Most of the electric cars have only been used for a few thousand miles. And a handful are sitting in the garage with only a few hundred on them.
Like one in service since may 27, 2016, with just 400 miles on it! Evidently, these were too many cars, with no useful purpose, except to make the mayor look "green", progressive, and forward thinking. Just a 10 million dollar narcissistic play for publicity he doesn't need? Likely.
For that 10 million, don't you think they could have patched a lot of pot holes around LA?!
The commanding officer of LAPD fiscal operations, Annemarie Sauer, used the department’s electric BMW and stopped at an elementary school in long beach, which is outside the city of LA. She stayed there for almost an hour. Then she parked the car a few blocks away outside this nail salon.
I bet if forced to explain what official law enforcement business brought her to her nail salon, and he kids school, she'd have nothing to offer that would honestly provide a reason.
