Reader question

What could this change for electric-car buyers?

Taxi duty exposes charging speed, winter range, downtime, durability, and service support more quickly than private ownership. It can produce useful evidence if operating data becomes available.

What to watch next.

Track fleet size, utilisation, charging arrangements, driver experience, maintenance downtime, passenger pricing, and expansion beyond the launch city.
