We are being forced to buy a vehicle most cabbies won't be able to afford.
Who can forget the BBC interview....tell me, why is this cab so expensive......well drivers will be saving £100 a week in diesel.
So they truly believe it's ok to hike up the price, because we are saving on diesel.
Not forgetting that the subsidy is finite and will disappear pretty quickly, everyone's queuing up to get their slice of the pie.
Fast charge points:
These illusive items, contra to belief, will not be a free service.
Trust me, it will be more expensive than diesel by the time you've pulled your trousers back up from buying one!
Just look at the signs....
No parking permit...no charging !
First of all, you will need to purchase a permit to be able to use this fast charging points.
Then there will be restrictions.
Notice the time restrictions, 7am till 10pm!
Maximum Stay 3 Hours and no returning for at least 3 hours!
So what happens between 10pm and 7am?
Will you be able to use the charging points without a permit?
Will the units be switched off at 10pm?
Plus if a home charging unit is not possible where you live, you may have to leave home 3 hours earlier to find somewhere to charge your new Taxi, before you even can start work.
Local councils will be meeting, discussing how they can milk this to the fullest extent. To them, this will be like manner from Heaven.

Finally, why has no one asked TfL, The Mayor, or Geely this important question:
Is it true that while inside the new Ultra Low Emission Zone, you will be forbidden from using your range extender petrol generator???
(Unless you are willing to pay the daily charge)
Does this mean that in order to complete a reasonable day's working mileage, you will have to spend most of the day, outside the Ultra Low Emission Zone???
One more little thing you won't read in Taxi 👀

Typical, you ask Geely to show research into driver safety and they point you to an issue of Taxi magazine (which they sponsor with advertising) which says it's all fake news.
How reassuring is that?
Recent research says that these vehicles give off 20% of the legal limit for ionising radiation and should not be used by oregment women or children. They also say, they will probably be alright.
