Hello guys just doing some research on finding a suitable ZEC vehicle and to work out if it's worth it for me.
I have around 10-15k to spend..
I do around 6 hours driving a day..
Does anyone recommend anything? A car with a good range and good mpg..

Also does UBER still charge the driver less commission for using a ZEC Vehicle or has that ended?

Thanks guys

Very unlikely to find anything decent in that price range...maybe the old Nissan leaf with 160 mile range...if you stretch your budget to 20 k...there's alot of decent mg's around with 250 mile ranges!
Also I get approx 10 % better fare for driving an ev!

I've been driving an ev for 16 months now...I need over 200 mile range to start my shift feeling confident and not to feel range anxiety...when they advertise 178 miles...that's at ideal conditions.
In winter..you put heating on,the battery hates cold conditions...that 178 miles will go down to 120 miles...go on the motorway. That will drop to 100 miles.
In summer, it's better but if you put aircon on...watch the range drop dramatically!
So be careful in buying ev's...
Look for anything over 250 mile range to give you full working shift without stress!

Yes...it grates me,my biggest headache is the back seatbelts...telling customers to wear them or our ears will explode from bleeping noise!

Would an outlander phev be ok it meets the TFL zec requirements to be PHVd for the first time yes the fuel consumption is horrible but what if you LPG convert it ?

Thank you for all the messages guys. I am leaning towards the Hyundai iconic for around 15k as that's my budget.

Remember, the hyundai ioniq electric has only 187 miles range.
Not enough for the job...trust me!
