Baltimore City has awarded a $5 million contract to Tesla to provide electric vehicles for its government fleet.
The city chose Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y over Ford's Mustang Mach-E, focusing on cost savings and environmental benefits.
Baltimore has been using electric vehicles for six years but this is their first time purchasing Teslas, aiming to have a completely electric fleet by 2030.
This decision reflects a broader trend of city governments moving towards sustainable transportation solutions, with the potential to purchase up to 147 Tesla vehicles.
