As a London Cab driver of 20 years I have owned one of these vehicles LEVC for 4 years. This is my honest evaluation of this vehicle. Outside temp above 10oC the EV range will manage 55-65 (without AC or Heating running) Outside temp below 10oC with internal heating running EV range 25-40 approx. The colder the outside temp the lower the EV range figure. A lot of London Cabbies drive round in the winter months with cold passengers and ridiculous steamed up condensation drenched windows by not using climate heating to extend EV range. (Utter stupidity in my opinion). The FOR HIRE TAXI light looks constantly "For Hire" on a sunny day, not the best design and frustrating for passenger & driver. Range Extender grumbles & groans when in use, not the most refined engine noise but you have to consider it is a generator designed to add KWHs to the battery and keep you going in between charges so it needs to generate a lot of power, hence the noise sadly. Rear passenger doors need careful consideration on very windy days as they can fly open causing damage. Open with care. ERAD (Electric Rear Axle Drive Motor) is likely to fail at some point so having Warranty is an absolute must as this is a very expensive replacement, but I would recommend having Warranty at all times anyway with this vehicle as parts are very expensive. The rear passenger forward facing seats in my opinion are not deep enough, could have done with at least another two inches for comfort. The charging speed although advertised at 50KWH will only charge at maximum approx 45KWH but you have to also consider outside temperatures can affect this also + as the Charge goes above 70% capacity the speed is likely to drop to speeds of around 20-30KWH for the remainder of the charge. I think LEVC should be looking to improve charging speeds dramatically with this battery as time is money for working Taxi Drivers and it is certainly one of the slowest fast charging vehicles on the EV market. Suspension and Ride very good. Brake Pads will manage very high mileage if using Regen Assisted braking, as high as 50k+ miles in many cases which returns good cost savings.

I have been driving a cab since 1977 and I love seeing these kind of vehicles

Great review!

One of the best design in be world 🙌

Nice & Thanks :)

Hi. Great video. But missing something. Can you test the intercom on rain conditions? As on vito when is raining is abit hard to hear the passengers. If you could test that will be amazing. Thanks

Отличная машина

Great comfort electric mileage hese talking brand new 3 yrs old your down to 40, better off putting petrol in than sit around for an hour charging it you could have earned £30….

Табуретка как для водителя так и для пассажиров, просто купите и наслаждайтесь статусом, а функциональность и комфорт в 2030 году )

You need to see what Electron Garage are doing with Taxi EV conversions.. they are 100% Electric.. Much better to convert an existing Taxi👍

You never own the battery, and out off warranty, it costs almost £20,000…… for a battery??? So at £70,000 it’s just a bit much!

🆒️💯✔

Most cabbies drive them on petrol because its cheaper than street electric 50 mile range usless for a cab

🐱👍🏿

Still waiting for anyone to explain where all this magical electricity will come

They should improve on the battery range. Most electric cars go up to 280 miles on full charge. So I don't understand why the taxi battery has only 55 miles for a price of £20,000. I think it is a rip-off.

Need to dich that oldtoxux ice lump have a big Frounk and 300+ mile range Tesla

Very poor electric only range simply ticks the boxes for emissions laws, yet still manages to burn fossil fuel!? I’d be happier to see manufacturers concentrate on fully electricity efficiency rather than churn out hybrids. If only Tesla did a taxi…….? Oh wait…

It is a vastly overpriced hybrid

Crazy expensive car ridiculous and battery range is only 35 miles it says 63 but you never do 63
