"San Diego Parking-Enforcement Upgrades to Mustangs for Efficient Meter Monitoring"
San Diego's parking enforcement is transitioning from three-wheeled scooters to Ford Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles, with some residents questioning the decision. The city cites long-term cost benefits and environmental goals as reasons for the switch, with the Mustangs being part of a larger effort to electrify the municipal fleet. While the Mustangs offer advantages in mileage and maintenance costs, concerns have been raised about their size and maneuverability compared to the scooters. The move aligns with the city's Climate Action Plan, aiming for 100% zero-emission light-duty vehicles by 2035.
