It is exected that the Lithium Taxi wil lhave a range of 200 miles. It is a pilot and it is also expected that after the pilot is over, Hybrid Tech will develop a better battery. It should also be noted with the Engine and Drive train removed, the 600 lbs of batteries is about equal to an engine and transmission. Viva la Electricity!
