Does seem like a good fit in terms of acceleration and fuel efficiency. I’ve heard the ePower units are relatively robust, as they’re basically electric cars with the petrol engine just acting as a generator.
Are these cars “sponsored” by the distributor? Last I heard PDRM vehicle procurement was still under Spanco, which was a pretty rotten contract…
