Feasibility of electric taxis and busses in New York City
Book
·
OSTI ID:7193672
This report identifies the obstacles and impacts that would arise if New York City adopts an ordinance requiring all taxis and buses to operate on electricity by 1975. The effect of these electric vehicles on Consolidated Edison, the supplier of electricity, on energy consumption and on the City's environment is explored. These impacts are strongly tied to the time distribution of the electricity demanded by electric taxis and buses and the equipment used to generate the electric power. Therefore, the conclusions pertain only to electrics fueled by the Consolidated Edison system and may not be representative of vehicles operating on electricity generated by other utilities. Impacts of electric taxis and buses on related industries such as the battery, electric motor, petroluem, automobile and other industries are also discussed in a general fashion. In addition, the annual operating costs of electric and gasoline powered taxis are compared. While the analysis is primarily limited to technologies which are now available, some comments on potential future improvements in electrified road vehicles are presented.
