Glasgow Cabbie Clocks Up Over 280,000 Miles in His LEVC Electric TX Taxi

A 60-year-old Glasgow taxi driver has achieved one of the highest mileages for an LEVC TX electric cab, recently surpassing 280,000 miles since purchasing it in 2018. 

This significant distance, exceeding the 232,000 miles from Earth to the Moon, has resulted in approximately £85,000 in fuel savings compared to a diesel taxi.

The impressive odometer reading also eclipses the 268,553 miles reached by NASA's Orion spacecraft at its furthest point from Earth. According to The Irish News, the diligent driver keeps the LEVC TX running almost 24/7, with a partner taking over at night to maximize value.

They take breaks for charging in the early morning and evening to optimize electric range and savings.

"I work from about 8am to 6pm, and the night shift runs from 9:15pm to 4 or 5am," Gary explains. "This allows us to charge twice daily and benefit from cheaper miles."

He praises the vehicle for its manoeuvrability, visibility, and overall driving experience, offering a comfortable environment for both drivers and passengers. The LEVC TX uses a hybrid system, with a 1.5-litre petrol engine charging the 33kWh battery when needed, ensuring continuous operation in pure EV mode.

Additionally, the LEVC TX makes economic sense due to its significant fuel savings and lower running costs.
