The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, launched a £110-million (US$133-million) scrappage scheme to support Londoners on lower incomes, disabled Londoners, charities, sole traders and business with 10 or fewer employees to replace or retrofit their old, polluting vehicles in order to be ULEZ compliant.

This is because of cheaper electricity, lower EV retail prices and higher purchase incentives in France. The taxi and ride-hailing markets are best positioned to go fully electric first. In London, the largest market for ride-hailing services in Europe, there were 88,000 active Uber-type drivers in 2018.

There are plenty of reasons why electric vehicles (EVs) are the future of motoring both in the UK and around the world. You only have to look to the London Congestion Charge for proof of that.

This deal will help to deliver Uber’s vision for every car on the app in the capital—around 45,000 drivers—to be fully electric from 2025. Through the Clean Air Plan, drivers will on average save £4,500, depending on the miles they’ve driven, off the cost of switching to an electric car.

We started one year ago at TechCrunch in London with the vision of partnering with cities to improve the efficiency on their streets. The MOIA car is a fully electric car that provides space for up to six passengers to fit comfortably. A driver app and comprehensive fleet management complete the system.

One of the key things when it comes to cost is the savings you can make on the London Congestion Charge. The congestion charging scheme was first introduced in central London in 2003, aiming to reduce the amount of traffic in the capital. And from 25 October 2021, only battery-electric or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are eligible.

It almost seems as though London is against us mere motorists. With some great transport links to take advantage of, having a car in London isn’t always necessary or practical. Unless that is, you drive an electric vehicle (EV). Why are EVs best for London? Cheaper to run. Congestion Charge. Ultra-Low Emission Zone.
