Whoever thought it made sense to use EVs for commercial use such as cabs hasn't dealt with the problems that EVs pose.
1. The number of public charging points available is very small compared to the number of gas stations. Very difficult to use EVs outside very urbanised areas because of this one reason.
2. Even at the base, you will need a large number of charging points and also access to much larger electricity load - all of which costs a lot more money and infrastructure.
3. It takes time to charge - and even the fastest charging units are usually a bit slower than doing a gas refill.
4. The costs can easily jump if the batteries need to be replaced for whatever reason.
5. Very difficult to put out fires etc.
