Baltimore City has chosen Tesla to supply $5 million worth of electric vehicles for its fleet, opting for the Model 3 and Model Y over Ford Mustang Mach-Es.
This decision reflects a growing trend among city governments to adopt EVs, driven by cost savings on fuel and maintenance.
Baltimore has been using EVs for six years but this is the first time they are utilizing Tesla-built vehicles, aiming for a fully electric fleet by 2030.
The $5 million budget could potentially purchase up to 147 Tesla vehicles, contributing to the city's commitment to sustainability and electric transportation.
