Thomaston’s police department might be small, but it’s one of the first in Maine to try out an electric vehicle as a standard patrol car. The town bought a fully electric Ford Mustang Mach-E in August, taking advantage of a rebate program offered by Efficiency Maine that aimed to make it more affordable for Maine towns to purchase electric vehicles. In total 33 Maine towns participated in the program, including Bangor, which purchased an electric vehicle for its police department.
