A First Trip In An Electric Taxi
I took these pictures during and after my first ride in an electric taxi.
I liked the experience.
- The ride was good.
- The vehicle was quiet.
- You could talk easily to the driver, which helped as we had to change route due to a road closure.
- It’s got USB charging points for phones.
But the best feature must be the glass roof. Although the rain ruined the view.
It wouldn’t be a London taxi without a few strong negative opinions from the driver.
- He’d just cleaned the taxi and the rain was ruining his work.
- There are not enough charging points.
- He didn’t think Uber pay enough tax. Doesn’t everybody think that?
The driver certainly seemed pleased with his cab.
As a perhaps five-times-a-month user of black cabs, I will certainly look forward to having another ride, as they are definitely a better experience.
You can’t write about black cabs without adding a comment about other minicabs, private hire vehicles and Ubers in London.
When will new additions to these fleets of other vehicles, have to be electric?
