Residual value has never been a major consideration in the Taxi
Business because having had a taxi history buggers the car's
fair market value regardless of KMs....in fact if a Motor Dealer
sells an ex-cab she has to obtain a written acknowledgement
from the buyer (let the buyer beware)

Apart from insurance, rego and Brand fees, the biggest
expense by far is fuel followed by R&M. To date this is why
the Toyota Hybrids are favoured. Some Taxis on weekends
operate 2 x 12 hr shifts so for them battery charging is
a problem. For example a Tesla takes about 8 Hrs to fully charge!

Thanks Mooroo for your comprehensive replies.
We will probably just have to wait and see what a 500 k 5 year old ev is worth .
On charging times , I could see taxi ranks having chargers , but they dont sit still for long on those 12 hour weekend shift I would imagine.
cheers
