Taxi Driver Online

Done.
However, if you're reading this, it's a bit pointless as it all boils down to three things - price, range and charge time (the latter which is missing from your survey !)

No good paying double for a vehicle which only does 70 miles on a charge and then takes 12 hours to recharge before you can do another 70 miles, certainly if there's two drivers using the car for most of the day.

Once there's a car that can do 200 miles on a 3 hour charge for the same price as a Mondeo then I'll be interested.

Jaguar has unveiled a new supercar that has much in common with a jet plane. It'll accelerate quicker than a Lamborghini LP640, has a greater top speed than a Ferrari 458 Italia, and spews out fewer emissions than a Toyota Prius. Behold, friends, the holy grail of motoring: the Jaguar C-X75.

The car is a range-extended electric vehicle. In other words, it's powered primarily by electric motors and a battery pack, but it's given extra range (and performance) by an external power source that, in this case, is rather unusual.

At each wheel, Jaguar's installed an electric motor, each of which delivers 145kW (195bhp) of power. These are driven by a floor-mounted lithium-ion battery pack that can drive the vehicle for 68 miles on ordinary electric power alone. When it runs out of juice, it can be topped up via a standard household mains outlet or be given a boost via two 70kW (94bhp) micro gas turbines.

These gas turbines get their power from a flow of combustion gas -- diesel, biofuels, compressed natural gas, or liquified petroleum gas (the C-X75 has a 60-litre tank that accommodates all four). This fuel is mixed with air and ignited to charge the car's batteries to extend its range, but can also be used to power the electric motors directly in order to boost performance -- a lot.

With the batteries and turbines working in tandem, Jaguar believes the car will do 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds and hit a top speed of 205mph. Apparently, it'll even accelerate from 50-90mph in just 2.3 seconds and do a quarter-mile sprint in just 10.3 seconds, so there's a strong chance it'll be quicker than almost anything

I am conducting some research into the challenges the taxi industry may face with alternative fuel vehicles. It would be greatly appreciated if any drivers could complete the following online survey. This is entirely anonymous and should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. Please follow the link underneath to the survey.
