The taxi trade is a great example of how EVs can become more visable around a city. Dundee City Council introduced an incentive and lowered the cost of the taxi test for fully electric vehicles by 10% as the reduced maintenance and absence of an emission test meant it takes less time and parts for the mechanics to check.
From this there are now 128 electric taxis in the city (this equates to 18% of the city’s taxi trade). This number is continually growing and is helping make EV more visible around the city.
