London Black Cab TX | Fully Charged

[@TomtheTaxiDriver]

I love driving this cab, it is a real game changer from the old diesel cabs in London!

[@Zahoodo]

Hello Tom

[@alanshaw5286]

I've got to say it's always a delight to watch Jonny & Rob. This was exceptional.

[@ConnorWalsh_briz]

Not a very insightful comment from me but… oh the lighting on this ep captured the experience of being a taxi passenger in London so so well, with perfect accompaniment from Jonny the Cabby. Bravo!

[@Kniffel101]

11:50 Really great that you include all the prices in the "main" currencies! Whoever does the edits: Your work is *very* appreciated! :)

[@kenchristie9583]

Kniffel101 ... except that the $20 bill appears in the cab 5 and a bit minutes before Robert hands it over. Did Jonny use the word magic?

[@LucifersTear]

Fabulous video! One of your best in my opinion bit of tech, bit of experience behind the wheel and on the road and your character banter to top it off, great stuff guys! I'm glad UK manufacturers are investing time in reaching out with you as well, keep up the good work x

[@rahbaralhaq]

The car is mostly Chinese (Geely) though.

[@ZnenTitan]

Well I'm glad SOMEONE came along and put in the money and design effort to keep the black London cabs rolling into the future.

[@garylawrence3873]

Chinese ...was going broke..

[@vx9013]

Pretty sure Geely (china) owns them. There's nothing british about this. Not that I have anything against them, but in the interests of accuracy, Geely should be mentioned.

[@LucifersTear]

vx I'm perfectly aware Geely own this company and this was clearly mentioned in the video. However Mr. Negative the manufacture is done in Coventry, hence why I said UK manufacturers... As in manufacturers inside the UK.

[@Smidge204]

2:13 Did he say "three and a half" cylinders?

[@kpopler]

Smidge204 yes he did? Wtf I'm so confused 😂

[@Eric_the_Hiking]

That's what I heard. I have no idea what it means.

[@qqnqqpart]

erlebo 1.5L 3cyls slip of tongue there!

[@bumblebee9337]

Three in the engine, and one half behind the steering wheel ;)

[@ClockworksOfGL]

1.5 liter, 3 cylinder. Don’t blame yourself...he’s speaking British.

[@peterbuchan628]

Wise decision to get the Heathrow Express to Paddington train station Robert, you could have been stuck in that cab for several episodes otherwise

[@cjp9596]

I honestly think this is the best car show out there now. Very nicely done.

[@CAESARbonds]

I love that it has 3 Ways of charging, Regular AC with Type 2, CCS and Chademo, it can almost charge everywhere and has 30kwh and an small petrol range extender. very nicely done.

[@CAESARbonds]

In fact I would like a non taxi version, I would bet it would sell very well.

[@slanahesh]

Exactly this. I have been twiddling my thumbs waiting for bmw to make their "i5" as the i3 is just too small for my needs but the REx is by far my favourite EV implimentation at the moment.

[@gregede539]

Loving this and the magic of you two chaps on screen together! Brilliant engineering in the fabulous package of a London Black Cab, love it, love it, love it, can’t wait to ride in them on a regular basis. Totally brilliant, bring on the future guys!!!

[@TheProjectOverload]

Great video - Love this style - More Jonny and Robert together!!

[@AlRoderick]

Why not TX-E, that's cleverer wordplay.

[@christophesmee3405]

That's exactly what I was thinking... and I work there!

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

'letter play' ?

[@mohammedhasir4282]

I think TX-H is better coz it has a petrol engine it..

[@PecanPie1102]

This needs to be in NYC and have a sensible law for cabs, school bus, tourist busses in the Bus Lane. London and Europe is a head of the curve.

[@TekAutomatica]

Julia M nope we are copying the #vehicleobesity of USA every year more and more SUVs and crossovers clogging up narrower roads.

[@TekAutomatica]

The Infidel this is a Chinese taxi assembled in UK

[@hanniffydinn6019]

And yet it's a Chinese car !!!!!

[@azera55555]

Luckily a lot of cabs in NYC, Boston, and Chicago are all Toyota and Ford hybrids which is a huge step up but it's not good enough

[@OhFishyFish]

The Infidel nonsense, American emissions regulations are much more strict than European and fines for breaking them are much more severe. VW diesel scandal would never come to life in Europe, they'd get a slap on the wrist.

[@DC9848]

Absolute joy to watch: the car, the hosts and of course production quality

[@fatboy19831]

OMG....WILL IT DRIFT? That steering angle is crazy.

[@muvverskunt]

it's 3 feet more than the existing Taxis which is 25 feet as opposed to 28 feet so they haven't matched the 60 year old technology...

[@dr-k1667]

OMG! I am so happy about this! The next time I am home I must have a ride in one.

[@YAUUN]

Only one been licenced so far, seeing as they have been having problems with the taximeter.

[@OverlandTT]

Happy! Why?

[@niceboy60]

This is a waste of money Cab drivers have to pay around 700 Bucks a month for it as supposed to around 300 bucks i get the fuel costs thing but I dough any Minicab driver spends 400 Bucks in fuel a Month

[@casey9559]

I'm worried that there won't be enough of these in London and won't have any pretection in law so that uber drivers etc.. M can use other vehicles because its an icon of London.

[@darylwoodrow1342]

Volvo steering wheel, Volvo display, Volvo start buttons and Volvo key fob. If it’s anything like a Volvo, it’s brilliant

[@CaptHollister]

Unfortunately, current Volvos have slipped in quality and some of their models are actually quite unreliable.

[@hotcornerthings6000]

CaptHollister hmmm true and debatable, my Volvo XC90 is perfect although there are some system glitches sometimes

[@rome0610]

Wouldn't be suprised if the 1,5l 3 cylinder engine is the same used in the Volvo XC40 (2:15 "part of the Geely family"). Same with the center display. What does me really suprise, is there in fact both a CCS (2:30) and a ChaDeMo (2:36) socket installed?! And, btw, at the Volvo museum in Gothenburg there is a prototype of a taxi built in the 1970th typical for the British market on display... ;-)

[@lookcloser4536]

Roland Messerschmidt It basically is a Volvo XC40 T5 PHEV that eats sausages and beans in the morning instead of fika.

[@lookcloser4536]

CaptHollister It depends on the model year. 2016-2017 models have had a bad reliability because of the 4-cylinder turbos and the hybrid system. Since 2018 Volvo is steadily regaining it’s worthy reputation in reliability :)

[@alwayslearning3671]

Another entertaining and informative analysis. I'm glad they still look like a London cab.

[@hughmarcus1]

Brilliant episode. For anyone commuting, an EV is a no brainer. I can’t believe there’s not more talk about them not using energy when they’re stationary. It’s one of their big advantages

[@zrow9903]

Love watching videos about technological solutions for outdated systems that have been around for a long time 😄👍🏽

[@robertp.wainman4094]

Always thought the idea of range extenders were so sensible - got rid of range anxiety! However talking to a London cab driver the other day - he told me that with heating or air-con plus lights he was only running for approximately 50 miles on electric.

[@Wavey75]

Johnny, I do believe it's the hackney carriage license that allows cabbies to legally drive in a bus lane, not the vehicle. Whoopps!

[@evilmario6061]

I'm never going to own a taxi of any kind, yet this is one of the most interesting and charming car videos I've ever seen. Great job team, I've since checked out loads of your other videos!

[@richardgledhill]

A three-and-a-half cylinder engine! Definitely novel ;) Great to finally see something that will get the groaning, wheezing pollution-belchers off the road and be replaced with such a great piece of design. Surely the new icon for London!

[@TekAutomatica]

Richard Gledhill 10 times more ultrafine PMs than euro 6 diesels, more NH3, CO, CH, CO2, lower real world mpg especially in winter, higher tyre wear, lower payload range add in #scrappingiswasteful and the Helsinki non fossil #hvo from waste route seems far more environmentally friendly than cobalt mining in the rainforests of DRC

[@richardgledhill]

Who, me or Luke? Luke's just a typical internet troll, not worth paying any attention to.

[@stnicholas54]

​@@richardgledhill Easy to say that any dissenting view is anti-progress. You mean anti your opinion, do you not?

[@hiddengrousefarm]

Looks like a perfect design for the job. The cabbies will be fighting for them.

[@PeterParker-rj7wn]

There you go, the only use case for a Tesla was just blown away... Looks more like 'Europe', locals & tourists are gonna freakin' love it !

[@mgkleym]

Did you somehow miss where the leasing price difference was less then the amount saved on fuel?

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Yes, it costs 10 pounds per week more to lease but saves 100 pounds per week in fuel and operating costs. That's a net savings of 90 pounds per week. It costs much less in total.

[@steve17hpe]

What he forgot to tell you was the £18k balloon payment at the end. Lovely cab just to expensive. Works out to like £68k

[@sirierieott5882]

At least when you’re taken on the long scenic route, your view of London is much improved and more comfortable and pollution free. Great vid guys.

[@CalvinHikes]

Pretty quiet about the Chinese maker/ownership group... but I heard ya.

[@ModMokkaMatti]

They were likely offered a incentive to keep that on the down low as much as possible. Mustn't do anything intentional to draw the ire or wrath of our new Cino masters, here in the western world...

[@calum5975]

It's not made in China, it's made in Coventry. It's simply owned by Geely, just like Volvo. It's not different than Jaguar being owned by Tata. Jaguar isn't Indian, or made in India. Geely simply own the LEVC - in fact LEVC would be bankrupt if Geely didn't acquire them.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Great car, great coverage, great videography, great music, great dialog. Brilliant commentary by Jonny. Well done mates!

[@micmag2375]

I would pay to ride in this over a petrol or diesel uber. The English are smart, instead of complaining that uber is taking over, they create a better vehicle. Well done!

[@BikeFlips]

You have to be kidding - nobody whinges more about Uber than the black cab driver!

[@harmansofearley]

I was picked up by one of these at St Pancras station. Fantastic Vehicle. Funny when we got dropped off it was so quiet. That distinct noise you here outside your house indicating someone is being dropped by a Black cab is going to be a thing of the past.

[@roygardiner4002]

Brilliant design and execution and made in England ! Top Marks Geely.

[@john3Lee]

Two great presenters for this channel.... Both with a passion for electric vehicles....

[@LAPGOCHINSTRUCTOR]

One question about regenerative braking - when you take your foot off the accelerator and the regen braking kicks in, do the brake lights also come on? The reason I ask is that with aggressive regen braking - the driver of the car behind may not be paying attention and as you regen brake in front he may end up hitting the rear of your car

[@rtopps1728]

ExRE_Sapper yes, regen braking turns on the brake lights on ev’s

[@FreekHoekstra]

typically there is a measure of deceleration used. so if regenerating enough, then yes, if only doing a little, (like braking on the engine in a gas car) then no. just like you would expect.

[@andrewfernandes7383]

No, EVs do not have the rear lights turn on when braking. This has been an issue that has come up in numerous EV car circles and even in governing body discussion similar to how some places are pushing for EVs to be required to make a sound in order to simulate a motor vehicle for safety concerns. Since the brake lights correspond to the brakes, they do not engage unless the brakes are used ie they do not turn on during engine-braking. Source: I drive a Ford Focus electric and had this exact same question. I know others who own EVs including a VW e-golf and Nissan Leaf and the brake lights do not come on when coasting, only when the brakes are engaged.

[@sitecrewshenanigans5918]

Teslas do...

[@livndays45]

Andrew Fernandes all the new EV’s show brake lights when regen braking if it’s as aggressive as pressing the brake pedal. My jag certainly does.

[@stevenclarke5606]

They have done a fantastic job of dragging this icon into the 21st century, it was an icon but an absolute dog , noisy, smelly , uncomfortable, this new version is an absolute revolutionary design.

[@toninocars]

This is a real upgrade in the business 👍

[@mitchell.9632]

Thanks Robert and Jonny and all the crew for another good product review.

[@crashbox7130]

Would have been interesting to get the views of real London cabbies, with them giving the TX a test drive.

[@TekAutomatica]

Crash Box quite right! And their view of taxation, lack of Govt backing for cleaning up existing cabs abs the huge price tag of this machine.

[@frederikschiller6091]

those are driving around in Hamburg cince at least two months and the best about them they drive you for the same price as the local transports. love them

[@ImplyDods]

Jonny and Robert, I think a trick is being missed here. Surely the taxis should have induction charging at the ranks? It would keep them charging whilst moving up as fares come in. What do you guys think?

[@evilutionltd]

Andrew Wilkinson induction charging is very inefficient and would be expensive to install.

[@OhFishyFish]

evilution that's not true, even Fully Charged covered it few months ago and the induction charging is around 90% efficient.

[@JohnSmith-rq5rv]

2.0

[@AMacProOwner]

This would be awesome at places like Heathrow and other taxi wait zones when they wait in line for the next customer!

[@spencerwilton5831]

Andrew Wilkinson taxis are hardly ever in ranks though. Perhaps at airports, but on the streets it's rare to see a stationary cab waiting for a fare, let alone a group of them. Even at kings cross, where there is a long waiting area for cabs, demand is such they are constantly pulling forwards are are rarely there for more than a couple of minutes.

[@xawnia]

Jonny is such a good presenter, he can ramble on about cars without it getting boring to the viewer. He really has a passion for cars. Also it’s crazy to see how high the production value is on these FullyCharged videos from a year ago, how many camera angles do they have there?!

[@tinklos]

I thought he said he was going to drive from Central London to Heathrow but he just went to Paddington and back.

[@BRI535D]

Fantastic cab at last! Things can only get better and I am a Coventry kid born raised and worked in Motor City.

[@NeonsStyleHD]

Biggest problem for this is while your charging, your not making money. Most cabs do 300-350km (180 to 210 miles) per day. If the job loss during charge is offset by fuel cost it'd be good.

[@michaelrichter4941]

NeonsStyle Wizard of wrong... Watch the video again. 400 mile range.

[@levenkay4468]

So, if this is at the high end of the stated average London traffic speed of 10mi/hour, then those "Most" cabbies of yours are driving 18 hours per day. I commend their industry.

[@Pembroke1]

This is bloody marvelous they need to start selling them in Canada in the US

[@fiveminuteman]

[@CaryInVictoria]

Terrific video! Aside from the commentary, the production values keep getting better and better. I was especially impressed by the camera work, editing and music.

[@ArkadiuszFlak]

This is so good, what they should do now is to have an option in the app to choose this EV Cab instead of diesel. That would motivate more taxi drivers to upgrade.

[@jantjarks7946]

Good point

Arkadiusz Flak or put the poorest out of business

[@myjizzureye]

What does 'all electric' mean in a car with a petrol range extender?

[@Jsfun]

I suppose that it can be used entirely without petrol, you're right though not really all electric, just primarily electric.

[@GaryMillerUK]

The wheels are only driven by electricity. I agree, it's not a precise phrase.

[@UrbanStories]

CorwynGC yes, it’s hybrid.

[@iAmTheSquidThing]

I guess they mean it's a series hybrid. As in the engine is not mechanically connected to the wheels.

[@videogalore]

It's classed as a 'range extender', the same as a BMW i3. In the i3 you can choose to only use the engine if the battery level falls to 5%.

[@guzzi1948]

I like it, having spent over 20 years with the FX4 and then the horrible FX4R and FX4S I gave up before the first TX vehicles came in and retired - what a shame so impressed by this would love a go!

[@miloe436]

[@Br1anuk]

The last ones were £45,000 which was an absolute rip off because they used a lot of poor quality materials.

[@1981therealfury]

Well if the old ones were £45k and the new one is £56k but an estimated saving of £5k+ per year in running costs then i can totally understand the £56k, in fact it sounds like a steal to me. Pay the extra for the battery and then reap the savings in running costs for 2 years and you are then in profit compared to the diesel?

Minus 2 outside and it does only 24 miles on electric! Shocking......don't believe me check Hexagon Taxi twitter. A few videos there.

[@Jsfun]

Love the cabbie banter. Looks solid!

[@shoelessjoe428]

I don't want to criticise LEVC too much, because I'm a massive EV fan and what they're doing is very important work - with some obvious success. But the Renault Zoe now has a 40kw battery, which achieves a real world range of between 120 and 180 miles. This taxi is much bigger than a Zoe, can transport more people/luggage (weight), and has a much smaller 30kw battery. I suspect 80 miles on a cold day is probably a best case scenario. The average working Cabbie will drive 200 miles a day. On a 30kw battery, the reality is that these cars will often be running around London on petrol, whilst inefficiently lugging around all the weight of both the range extender and the battery. Hybrids are a step backwards for me. As are 30kw batteries. The range extender should be ripped out and replaced with extra battery packs. Within a year the Leaf will have a 60kw battery. If I was a Cabbie I would buy one of those instead.

[@JeanPierreWhite]

I agree that the battery size is disappointing in such a large vehicle. Shame they didn't do a skateboard design like Tesla. The battery size could be as much as is affordable. It was designed from scratch they could easily have done a skateboard design.

[@joeblack4436]

Range extenders are way more efficient than you might think.

[@neilchapman5145]

Joe Black you’re right most people use the range extender to power normal cars around. It makes you wonder why they’re using batteries when engines do it cheaper

[@joeblack4436]

@@neilchapman5145 Not cheaper by a long shot. It just allows you to take a bit of fuel along with you when you don't have charging infrastructure near. And it's very efficient compared to using an engine to turn the wheels directly. The range extender engine can run at the optimal revs 100% of the time. It's not that difficult to understand.

[@mrmotorvator]

Well done! A good review where the subject isn't obscured by the presenters ego. Can't wait to ride in one.

[@aspudkicker]

They've missed a trick with the generator. The trick being instead of using petrol as a fuel for the generator, they could have used lpg. Lpg having lower emissions then petrol , and also costs considerably less per litre then petrol. I would like to drive a panel van with this kind of tech, but with the addition of the generator being lpg powered.

[@markjones4704]

even better if a cabbie gets the kit to compress natural gas at home to put in tank

[@callumlaird5158]

You’re spot on with the Geely Volvo link. The radar and camera module/rear view mirror is lifted straight out of an XC90. The drivers seat is from the S90, which I’m sure is very comfortable. So is the key, infotainment, centre console buttons, steering wheel and digital dials. The indicators at the back also look quite familiar! Definitely recognise the indicator clicks. Really good to see the partnership working well - I believe the range extender May also be from the new XC40 as I know it has a range of 3 cylinder engines. Looks fantastic too

[@christera1116]

You are right.

[@mostlysane9376]

This is awesome news. London has been crying out for electric cabs for years. I wonder if there's any estimates around showing how much pollution would be saved if all cabs were electric.

[@kedaruss]

3 and a half cilinder?

[@freddotu]

That's what I heard too! Later in the episode, you hear one and a half liter three cylinder. I'm not sure how the first one can be interpreted.

[@nerd1000ify]

It's a 3-cylinder 1.5L naturally aspirated engine made by Volvo for their smaller cars. The guy must have garbled his sentence a bit (We all do that from time to time).

[@kedaruss]

That makes sense - with the generator I thought It might actually be like a small cylinder, hemi or something like working on half cylinders while still generating power. I mean quite often it’s better to reduce amount of working cylinders but keep most efficient rpm instead. Thank you for clarification.

[@bren106]
