Ford is expected to deliver the vehicles by June 30, the Department of Citywide Administrative Services said.

The department’s Acting Commissioner, Dawn M. Pinnock, said, “Smart investments in fleet electrification will help New York City break its dependence on fossil fuels.”

Meanwhile, the city is also considering ordering 250 units of Tesla’s (TSLA) Model 3 sedans for the police department.
