Usually, taxis are based either on sedans or MPV's, but this is not the case with the ZAP Electric Taxi which is based on an SUV. The ZAP Electric Taxi has been unveiled in China, at the Beijing Motor Show, and the carmaker says it's already in production at ZAP Hangzhou. The ZAP Electric Taxi will be sold on the Asian market as part of taxi fleets and intra-campus transportation for large corporate, government, military and university campuses.
The ZAP Electric Taxi is based on the Jonway's A-380 5-door SUV and the company says it has a top speed of 70 mph and a range of up to 300 km per charge. The carmaker says the ZAP Electric Taxi can be operated with as little as .12 RMB per kilometer ($0.03 cents per mile).
