London Ambulance Service has added 77 new electric emergency vehicles to its frontline fleet, further strengthening what is now the UK’s largest fleet of fully electric ambulance vehicles.
The latest investment includes 37 fully electric ambulances and 40 electric fast response cars, taking the service’s total electric fleet to 41 ambulances, 81 fast response cars and three motorcycles.
Each electric ambulance is capable of completing a full 12-hour shift on a single charge, allowing crews to remain operational throughout their shift while responding to patients across the capital.

"Fast response—of course electric! They’ve got much more power, they get there really quickly, they’re smooth... It’s much better for patients to be in the back of a nice, smooth, non-gear-changing ambulance."
John said... "They said it couldn't be done... People saying, 'No, electric ambulances will never happen.' Here they are."
