Using an electric taxi has saved Dublin taxi driver Padraig Daly approximately €6,500 over the last 18 months.

The electric Nissan LEAF which has been part of a trial between ESB ecars and National Radio Cabs (NRC) has clocked up over 55,000km on Dublin roads.

Savings of up to 12.9 cent per km can be achieved by driving an electric vehicle, powered by night rate electricity, in comparison with a conventional car.
