The new TX Electric offers around 80 miles of fully electric range plus a petrol-driven range extender that adds another 320 miles before a driver has to either plug in or fuel up.

That's a significant amount of range because the average speed of taxis in London is about 8 or 9 miles an hour, meaning it will be possible to drive around for most of the day without ever having to fuel up. You can also choose to use the battery in more urban areas or emissions-restricted areas and the petro engine in other areas. The fast charge port can also add about 80% of range in 20 to 25 minutes.

The cab is fully designed for wheelchair accessibility. There's a massive moonroof to allow passengers to gawk at Big Ben or other tourist areas. There are USB charging ports everywhere, so your kids can continue to ignore Big Ben and charge up their tablets. Partition separation to protect the driver from muggings. Can pay with credit card from within the passenger area. Can seat up to 6 in the passenger area. 2nd row facing the rear.
