First Electric City Vehicles in Waltham!

The City of Waltham has purchased 2 new electric Nissan LEAF vehicles. One will be a shared vehicle between city staff, and the other will be housed in the Wires Department. While vehicle emissions are a significant cause of climate change and smog, the zero emission Nissan LEAF rated “Best” in both Fuel Economy & Greenhouse Gas Rating, as well as Smog Rating, emitting 0 grams CO, per mile.

These new electric vehicles can drive for about 150 miles fully charged, with an average of 112 MPGe (miles per gasoline equivalent), which will save the city close to $4,000 in fuel costs over the next 5 years compared to the average new car! Mayor McCarthy & the city’s Chief Procurement Officer, Joe Pedulla, were the first to take one of the new vehicles for a quick test drive!
