electric taxi

Plugged-in rideshare vehicle

An electric taxi is a taxi powered by an electric motor rather than an internal combustion engine.

The term applies to both traditional cab services and ride-hailing vehicles that have adopted battery-electric technology: The city required all new electric taxis by 2025.

Some cities have introduced purpose-built electric taxi models with features like wheelchair accessibility and extended range.
