If you pay 50k of your own cash on this business I despair. I watched guys with 23/24 plates begging for a fare outside BOBO's on Camden Street....really?

At least the guy sitting outside BOBO's with the paper coffee cup has minimal overheads.

House rewire + ID4 wouldn't be far off 50K, SB. There's some lads paying significantly more for WA EVs. I think there's even a couple of London Black Cabs on the fleet now. If those lads borrowed they'd arguably be better off renting. Of course, a lot of the rentals have up to 14 drivers each doing 18 hour shifts 7 days a week.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

2K for the rewire, and 25K for the motor.

Give Watty the name of the man who'll rewire a gaff for 2k.

I have to say it again but you do feel like an absolute wanker sitting in a brand new car when there's no work.The numbers involved in some of these posts are frightening.

I paid 19500 after grants plus about 1200 for the charger installed after grants and I still feel ripped off.For lads working nights and covering bigger mileage leccy cars aren't necessarily a great plan.Thr newness wears off after a few months and you realise you're still in a shit job.

... and bear in mind when the next recession hits we'll be paying 18-50% commission. When I say "we" I probably mean the first generation immigrants Free Now import from Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, etc...

The small print probably says it's €2k for the wires and €12k for the knowledge to know where to put it!  lol

In my case rewiring the house wasn't necessary, just an upgrade.

Ian Browne is the sparky.

Ian Browne did my quotation a few years back for Electric Car Charger(Phoenix Electrical),luckily they still had everything on file...in a filing cabinet....or on a computer when I was getting quotes again last year...luckily mine was straight forward with no extras and was fitted on the gable end wall with the consumer unit just inside of that wall.

Just make sure you know where you want the cables to run.I was quoted for X then one of the electricians wanted to do Y because I might save him a bit of work but would leave me with a poxy looking conduit inside my living room.

In the end I got it done the way I wanted it but I had to be a bit pushy a about it.
