LA buys an EV fire truck for $1.2 million and it only runs for 2 hours on battery power

A friend of a friend is involved in the purchases of the FDNY trucks- a million or more is the going rate for an engine for them.

its NYC , of course it will be 1 mill and up for any Fire Truck .. gotta add in all the kickbacks you know lol

You can pay over $100k for an off the lot pickup truck.

$1M seems like a bargain for a custom spec fire engine by comparison.

The truck I bought in 2018 the sticker was $42,000 and the same one is now just under $52,000. That’s a big jump. Oh and it’s the cheapest 4 door with the towing package you can find. Not the big 4 door either the smaller cab.

Nope. Legit. They are custom specs. I met the guy involved. The FD scams are how it’s a part time job and side gig for a lot of them-lol
