Can electric cars be taxis?
As electric cars grow in popularity, I wonder if we’re going to start seeing them in place of traditional taxi cabs or being driven by rideshare drivers. Can electric cars be used as taxis?
Allison Stone · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Absolutely, in fact, many places encourage the use of
electric car
as part of their local taxi fleets. Rideshare drivers
can even earn incentives for driving electric cars. High-mileage fleet cars like taxis drive as much as four times more than the average driver, meaning that they are especially influential when it comes to the race to
reduce emissions
. Not only that but switching to electric cars—which offer a noticeably smoother and quieter ride than gas-powered cars—can be a huge perk for passengers as well.
If you’re thinking about upgrading your fleet or rideshare vehicle to electric, you’ll want to have the best
car insurance
plan at the best price. A licensed broker, Jerry does all the hard work of finding cheap quotes from the top name-brand insurance companies and buying new car insurance. Jerry will even help you cancel your old policy.
