Good luck with that one. Are there enough low emission buses, taxis,
delivery vehicles, and so on to make it even remotely practical?
Buses and taxis, yes — all new London taxis are PHEVs, with quite a decent
zero emissions range.
So what happens when you walk up to an enclosed rank, such as
Paddington, wanting to go to the City and the first electric vehicle is
the fifth one in the rank?
I strongly suspect all taxis would be exempt.
