Onalaska council approves purchase of two electric squad cars and charging station
Summary
The Onalaska Common Council approved buying two electric police vehicles and installing a charging station, citing roughly $27,000 in purchase savings; council directed staff to return with a budget amendment for year-end accounting.
The Onalaska Common Council on Oct. 14 approved the purchase of two electric police vehicles and a new charging station, citing a vendor discount that will lower the total purchase and outfitting cost for the squad cars.
The council voted unanimously to proceed after police and finance staff told aldermen the vendor’s current incentives reduce the total vehicle-and-outfitting cost to about $148,448, a $27,152 reduction from the budgeted amount. Chief Ashbuck said the vehicles would likely be ordered now but paid in 2026 because delivery is expected in January or February.
