One issue I've read about recently is in places where new taxis are forced to be electric like in Guangzhou, people spend too much time charging. Takes like 30 min-1 hr to line up and charge taxi :(.

Gonna need battery swap tech or something.

The problem is with swap a battery one would have to run the battery down to 1% to get their moneys worth and that's not always doable.

Charging cuts into their profit margins and they don't even have time to grab food or go to the bathroom.

Really sad considering they already drive like 16 hrs a day.

I think profit margins for traditional taxi drivers are being more threatened by the ride hailing service. I suppose the business model for taxis are changing too.
