Home charger at night would be less than a tenner a week for 30 hours maybe even less.

He dosent have access to home charger but Fastcharger on street still cheaper than Diesel or Petrol .He dosent want one and thats his decision .Makes perfect sense for urban drivers .More responsive for filling gaps changing lanes .

[mercenary for hire]

Fast chargers would be about the same cost a running a Prius/Corolla...I wouldn't be going electric with no home charger.

Unfortunately the reputation of your model Avensis isn't great Belker.Any car dealer taking one of them in would need to offer a few grand less to provide a warranty for the next poor bastard.Toyota themselves know those cars are a mess.I've spoken to passengers who had one and they gave it back to the dealer after multiple unfixable faults relating to the diesel engine.

My 2005 D4D was a money pit.

Ken SERIOUSLY .If you are not doing ten hour shifts .Why not Consider Electric .20K in grants new cars have great milage .Plenty of Fast Chargers splash and dash quarter full in 10 minutes  You could have a top of the range EV for under 25 .Run of the mill one for about 17K .New EV for second hand Diesel Money .

Put quite simply in crude terms, in my lifetime I have never or will never have sex with another male or own an EV !

Hy-bird?

Evs have their place as taxis, but it’s user specific.

Ifn ya work a shopping centre or do mainly city centre work and have a charger at the gaff it’s a no brainer.

Ifn ya do grullers or do a large commute and have no charger at the gaff you’d be mad to buy one.


Many new drivers are driving Toyota hybrids and working long hours, it’s the elder driver mainly in Evs.

For RC really...
I just watched a video about the new MG5Sev and according to the YouTuber MG have now hot reduced the warranty period on new models for taxi drivers to 100k.It doesn't really show you with they've  confidence in their products if they don't think it's fit for taxi usage.

Two lads sharing a seat could put that up in two years or less .I know a lad hit the service interval in 7 months on his MG .

Yes John the new 20k or 12 monthly service is pure money grabbing from the dealers who are realising now most of these vehicles don't use anything other than tyres and wiper blades for the first 100k.

Drivers will learn and bring in two year old models from the UK and just bypass them.It's no longer a cheap car if has to go back to the dealer every 20k.

Was that an Irish YouTube video?  When I looked at this a few years back, it was MG Ireland that was stingy with their restrictions while MG UK gave a full warranty.  Might also be the local official dealers.  I know every time I go into Linders about something*, I get a different story depending on who I talk to.



* Someday I'll write about my experience with my single failed tyre pressure sensor that's supposed to last 5-10 years (depending on who you ask)...  whilst reading in the newspapers about EU law NOT allowing manufacturers to restrict service to indie garages
