E7 electric taxi makes its debut in the UK

Posted by admin  Published in Electric Car

While New York taxis are set to go hybrid by 2012, at least one company in the UK looks to be doing its part to take things one step further, with it now showing off an all-electric taxi that it says will be available as soon as October of that year. Dubbed the E7, that one packs a bundle of lithium ion batteries that promise to give it a range of 100 miles on a without charge and a decent abundant top speed

of 60 miles per hour, as well as a price tag of £39,450 (or just by $78,000). It seems that not everyone’s sold on the vehicle, however, as it recently got the thumbs down from London’s taxi licensing division, meaning that Londoners won’t be able to catch that specific near-silent ride anytime in the foreseeable future.[Via AutoblogGreen]
