Jonny Smith reviews the all new London Black Cab, the TX Electric Taxi from LEVC, on the coldest day of the year so far and takes it out for a proper test: sitting in traffic in rush hour London and then collecting a jet-lagged Robert Llewellyn from the airport.
This is the first time that LEVC (formerly the London Taxi Company) has created the recognisable ‘black cab’ with electric propulsion. It comes with all sorts of high-end technology, improved safety features and a petrol range extender, allowing it to cover 80 miles on electric only or 400 miles when combined with the petrol range extender. Equally important, this new model seems like it could be a boon for taxi drivers, their wallets and their health, especially with inner-city clean air regulations becoming more important.

And, btw, at the Volvo museum in Gothenburg there is a prototype of a taxi built in the 1970th typical for the British market on display... ;-)

Biggest problem for this is while your charging, your not making money. Most cabs do 300-350km (180 to 210 miles) per day. If the job loss during charge is offset by fuel cost it'd be good.

One question about regenerative braking - when you take your foot off the accelerator and the regen braking kicks in, do the brake lights also come on? The reason I ask is that with aggressive regen braking - the driver of the car behind may not be paying attention and as you regen brake in front he may end up hitting the rear of your car

typically there is a measure of deceleration used. so if regenerating enough, then yes, if only doing a little, (like braking on the engine in a gas car) then no. just like you would expect.
@andrewfernandes7383
@andrewfernandes7383 6 жыл бұрын
No, EVs do not have the rear lights turn on when braking. This has been an issue that has come up in numerous EV car circles and even in governing body discussion similar to how some places are pushing for EVs to be required to make a sound in order to simulate a motor vehicle for safety concerns. Since the brake lights correspond to the brakes, they do not engage unless the brakes are used ie they do not turn on during engine-braking. Source: I drive a Ford Focus electric and had this exact same question. I know others who own EVs including a VW e-golf and Nissan Leaf and the brake lights do not come on when coasting, only when the brakes are engaged.

They have done a fantastic job of dragging this icon into the 21st century, it was an icon but an absolute dog , noisy, smelly , uncomfortable, this new version is an absolute revolutionary design.

This is so good, what they should do now is to have an option in the app to choose this EV Cab instead of diesel. That would motivate more taxi drivers to upgrade.

This is awesome news. London has been crying out for electric cabs for years. I wonder if there's any estimates around showing how much pollution would be saved if all cabs were electric.

They've missed a trick with the generator. The trick being instead of using petrol as a fuel for the generator, they could have used lpg. Lpg having lower emissions then petrol , and also costs considerably less per litre then petrol. I would like to drive a panel van with this kind of tech, but with the addition of the generator being lpg powered.

I suppose that it can be used entirely without petrol, you're right though not really all electric, just primarily electric.

It's classed as a 'range extender', the same as a BMW i3. In the i3 you can choose to only use the engine if the battery level falls to 5%.
