Why the Kia EV5 Makes a Great Electric Taxi

Going electric is one of the biggest ways a taxi driver can cut running costs. The EV5 has the range and practicality to make the switch easy.

• Up to 329 miles of range: The 81.4kWh battery gives up to 329 miles (WLTP), so many drivers can work a full shift without stopping to charge.
• Lower running costs: Charging at home overnight usually costs far less per mile than petrol or diesel, so you keep more of every fare.
• Fast charging: Around 30 minutes for 10-80% on a rapid charger, which is quick enough to top up during a meal break.
• Fewer moving parts: No oil changes, clutch or exhaust to worry about, and regenerative braking reduces brake wear in stop-start traffic.
• Quiet, smooth ride: Passengers notice how calm and quiet an electric car is, which helps earn good ratings.
• Huge boot plus a frunk: 566 litres in the boot (up to 1,650 litres with seats folded), plus a 44-litre storage space under the bonnet for charging cables.
• Long warranty: Kia's 7-year or 100,000-mile warranty*.

Kia EV5 Versions for Taxi Drivers

Kia EV5 Single Motor (Front-Wheel Drive)

The best choice for most taxi drivers. With 214bhp and 0-62mph in 8.4 seconds, it's quick and smooth, and it gives the best range for long shifts.

Kia EV5 Dual Motor (All-Wheel Drive)

With 261bhp, 0-62mph in 7.3 seconds and all-wheel drive, this version gives extra grip in bad weather and on rural roads. It can also tow up to 1,800kg.

Space for Passengers and Luggage

Because the battery sits under the floor, the EV5 has a flat rear floor, so three passengers fit comfortably in the back with plenty of legroom. The 566-litre boot is one of the biggest in its class, which makes it great for airport runs with several suitcases. The front storage compartment keeps charging cables out of the way, so the whole boot is free for passengers' bags.

Is the Kia EV5 Right for My Taxi Work?

The EV5 works best if you can charge at home or at your base overnight. With up to 329 miles of range, most local and town-based drivers will easily get through a shift. If you regularly do very long motorway jobs, the EV5's fast charging means a short stop is all you need to keep going.

Can I License a Kia EV5 as a Taxi?

Outside London, every local council sets its own rules for private hire and hackney carriage vehicles. These can include vehicle age, number of doors and seats, legroom and emissions. Many councils are encouraging drivers to switch to zero-emission vehicles, and some offer incentives for electric taxis. As a brand new, 5-seat, 5-door, zero-emission SUV, the EV5 is a strong fit for many councils.

Always check your council's vehicle licensing policy before you buy. Talk to our team and we'll help you understand what to look for.
