The  Taxi is built on the same modular platform. The space used for hauling cargo has now been converted into a passenger area, where two people can sit in comfort, while ferried around.

Nigel Gordon-Stewart, Executive Chairman at EAV, tells “Our  energy usage is a fraction of an electric taxi and we don’t need an  infrastructure to charge our  batteries, just a normal plug socket.”
