MAYBE NOT LATER!


distance. If carrying more weight, ten miles less a day per person. However, total time to charge will depend on the level of stored electric in the battery.


If needed you can fast charge 80% of the battery in 40 minutes using 50 kw roadside electric chargers that are being installed in built up areas, nationwide. Costs for this will vary from around £4-£7 dependent on the supplier. Chargers within motorway service stations will be the most expensive.


7.What is the warranty on batteries for taxi drivers? Information provided from main dealers:


• If new - from 100,000 to 125,000 miles, some are unlimited up to seven years.


• If used - up to three years or 60,000 miles unless on a taxi warranty from new.


8. How long do batteries last and what is replacement cost?


This depends on the age or size of the battery, but on average battery cells are good for around 300,000 miles. Looking at other countries, we are sure in the future that the batteries will be reconditioned in the UK, just like the turbo injections are now. Therefore, the cost will vary with age and technology.


9. How much to service a full EV up to 100,000 miles?


As most main dealers charge from £75 per hour, Hyundai have estimated that servicing costs will be approximately £1,800 for up to 100,000 miles. Car ‘N’ Cab Care only charge £35 per hour.


Either way there is only limited work to do in the servicing of an EV so it should be relatively cheap.


10. Can I take my full EV to a normal service centre?


Yes, as long as they are EV accredited using qualified, trained mechanics and genuine parts and are also vat registered. 11. Road tax costs / Congestion or CAZ charges? If under 50km/gm - road tax is free each year / Free for all EVs 12. Council requirements in the near future - will these change?


We assume councils will not be offering new licences for fleet, private hire vehciles or hackneys if not presenting at least a Euro 6 vehicle, but councils will renew existing licences as normal until those vehicles reach their age limit.


13. What is the largest charge I can have at home?


7kw which will halve your charge time compared to a standard plug socket


JUNE 2021 14. I don’t have a driveway or garage


To assist drivers in our region in the Wirral and also help those drivers who do not have a driveway or garage, we can offer from May 2021 use of our 24-hour 150kw Charge Station, housing 1 x A/C 22kw and 2 x 75kw Alphtonic Hyper chargers.


15. How many fast chargers are in my area?


All EV plug-in / EVs have onboard guidance to all registered chargers and more are being installed across the country daily. 16. Grants for charging units and for how long?


Currently the Government is giving a grant which gives a free 7kw charger to any driver who purchases a plug-in or full EV to be installed at their home before collection of their vehicle - this is an estimated saving of around £2,500. The driver just pays the installation labour cost for fitting the charger of around £450 plus vat.


At Car ’n’ Cab Care, a driver is given a grant form to sign for home connection by Franklin Energy and also to obtain a card to connect to our charger for payments.


17. Will there be incentives for drivers to change to EVs?


We advise drivers to speak to their own licensing authority regarding the level of cash grants on offer towards the purchase cost of the vehicle. In most cases this is a substantial cash grant towards the purchase cost. Also, council charging of these vehicles is free at the moment.


18. Will my hire car company supply plug-in or full EVs?


If they do, the weekly settle will be more and you’ll need to pur- chase your own home charging device or a fast charge solution. 19. If my credit rating is not good can I change to EV?


Yes, we do offer Settle to Buy Options with deposits and up to three-year payment terms. 20. Will there be any PCP deals with options to buy?


Car ‘N’ Cab Care is currently speaking to finance companies to underwrite the taxi market.


I hope this article has helped you to understand the options currently available and enables you to choose the right vehicle for you to do your job, now and in the future
