Thats not true at all. I know several XOs without a cat 1. The city cut back on the fleet.

XOs get cat 1s. Some guys have had to wait for them but you still get one.

If you are an XO in a Patrol, Transit, or Housing then yes you do. If you work in a non-patrol command it depends but most likely its a Cat 2. I know COs in non-patrol commands that only have Cat 2 cars.

Expect to wait over 4 months for a vehicle.

Yes the city isnt ordering new cars and wants to run the gas fleet into the ground to make way for electric cars. Dont pick a borough with a toll.

Electric not feasible for long term especially in NYC

Grid won't be able to handle it.
