All right here's not a good premonition or prediction for electric vehicles. Police departments in some part of Europe in the UK are having problems with electric vehicles in their fleet because they're unable to reach emergencies because they run out of range they run out of power especially in rural areas where they can't find charging points they're having to switch back to gas and diesel.

Obviously charging port and charging locations is a big problem and certainly there will be more in the future there's going to be more charging stations in the future that's that's a fact but in the meantime with the number of charging stations that exist the cops in some areas they're driving around electric vehicles trying to find recharging facilities but they run out of range and have to go get another vehicle get a gas vehicle and this is a problem.

If the police can't get there that's going to be putting the public in danger if you're a consumer buying electric vehicle it may not be as urgent but you still want to get to where you're going so electric vehicles still have a long way to go there has to be more charging stations available so that people can get to where they have to get to whether or not that happens fast enough to make the transition to electric from gasoline or diesel or petroleum products happen fast enough is unknown.

Let us know what you think in the comments about police can you imagine a cop chasing somebody in their car runs out of juice and they can't keep driving that would actually be pretty funny.
