Jim Ellis Automotive found a way to help local law enforcement charge up its fleet.

In collaboration with the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office in Atlanta, Jim Ellis Chevrolet helped launch the county’s first electric vehicle take-home program for up to 100 jailers.

Historically, the dealer group said jailers have not received a take-home vehicle. Jim Ellis Chevrolet’s access to a large inventory of electric vehicles, coupled with competitive pricing, enabled the county to find an innovative way to recharge their employee retention and recruiting efforts.

“For us to have this partnership illustrates how Jim Ellis Chevrolet is part of the community,” Jim Ellis Chevrolet general manager Ralph Sorrentino said in a news release. “DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office is a leader in law enforcement in the state introducing many new programs. We are proud to work alongside another leader within the community.”

In addition to offering the numerous brands and models of EVs in the Atlanta area, Jim Ellis Automotive Group highlighted that it also continues to make substantial investments in EV sales and service training, state-of-the-art EV tools and the latest generation of EV diagnostic systems.

Plans are also in development to create an exclusive network of charging stations for Jim Ellis customers.

“The future is electric and it’s here now,” Jim Ellis Automotive Group president and CEO Jimmy Ellis said in the news release. “When our customers are ready to take the next step to an electric future, we’ll be ready to serve them.”
