It can travel 187miles on one charge, so even longer fares shouldn’t be a problem for the new all-electric black cab.
The Dynamo taxi has been given the green light by Transport for London as part of an attempt to slash carbon emissions in the city.
The capital’s 21,000 black cabs account for 16 per cent of all vehicle nitrogen oxide emissions in central London.
TfL began adding hybrid taxis to the fleet in 2017, but these have a 1.5-litre petrol engine to extend their range.
The £55,495 Dynamo, which is based on a Nissan e-NV200, is solely electric.
Fully electric cabs first appeared in London in 1897. However, the firm behind the the 10mph Bersey taxis collapsed just two years later.
The Dynamo will be unveiled today at the International Clean Air Conference in London.
