Listen to the Martin Bell’s Love Sport Radio interview with Sherbet Ride CEO Asher Moses on the impact of Uber losing their license, electric taxi experience, sustainable travel, and green future.
The iconic London Black Cab is powering a Euro Mission to Germany for the Eco Grand Prix on 29th November.
The expedition aims to promote sustainable transport alternatives, strengthen EU trade
and promote healthy competition in collaboration with the 24-hour race – whatever
happens with Brexit.
Sherbet Ride CEO Asher Moses said: “It’s great to see the much loved iconic licensed
London Electric taxi taking part in the EV Euro mission. We are establishing a
community that enables us to future proof of the London Taxi transport infrastructure.
The Electric Vehicle drivers will depart from London Bridge on Thursday 28th November
and embark on the 1,200-mile cross channel expedition to the Motorsport Arena in
Oschersleben near Berlin, aiming to persuade organisers of the Eco Grand Prix to bring
the event to the UK.
Eco Grand Prix founder Rafael De Mestre said: “Electric cars are the perfect products to
give the human race the chance to survive. We are at the point where we can effect
change, but there can be no more delay. This international 24-hour race series is a
perfect way to showcase that.”
The EV Euro Mission also aims to dispel the myth that electric cars are hampered by
range and performance, while encouraging friendly rivalry with European counterparts.
Ric Boullemier, EV Driver said: “Whether we’re part of Europe or not, we have to work
together when it comes to reducing CO2 emissions. Education is crucial and the clock is
ticking to improve our driving habits. You can follow our progress via my Instagram
account @TheSustainableDad.”
Completing the drive from London to Germany is only the first stage, as the main event
will see more than 50 cars going bumper to bumper at the arena for sustainable glory.
Sherbet Ride CEO, Asher Moses added: “We support technology and sustainability and
focus on customer service and excellence. Sherbet’s evolution is about the future: the
future of the industry, our children’s future, and the environment.
“3,000 London drivers have invested in electric vehicles the future is here and now. This
trip to Germany will surely put to rest the myth that electric vehicles cannot travel long
distances.
Sherbet London and London’s taxi drivers will continue to lead the way to help
companies in the ULEZ zone to reduce carbon emissions in London as per the Mayor’s
strategy.”

Rafael de Mestre adds: “This technology opens the mind to thinking about how to
survive on our beautiful planet. It is bringing nations together, avoiding wars and
opening the way to a sustainable future.
“Energy storage is the most important thing the human race will need to survive. It will
enable us to travel the universe and electric cars are the first step, followed by
aeroplanes and then spaceships.”

Here are some new exciting features which make the passenger love and appreciate electric taxi rides.
Recently, I was able to ride as a passenger in the newest Sherbet Electric taxi around London. The first thing that stands out is how spacious it is – there were six available passenger seats including wheelchair accessibility which makes the ride truly pleasant and comfortable.
The passenger area utters a luxurious feel. The high ceiling which is, in fact, a panoramic roof, for the first time gives the passenger an opportunity to discover London’s sky comfortably from their seat. This feature makes you realise how much the passenger was missing out on when sited under the usual blank roof. The ride in an electric taxi creates a feeling that can be compared to sitting in an isolated VIP compartment rather than the seats of a taxi.
Licensed London taxis are known for being loud. You will be surprised how hardly noticeable the movement of the electric taxi is. They are absent from the noisy diesel and clanging vibrations of taxis’ older versions. You can easily unwind, work or relax and hold a conversation without any noise disruptions.
London electric vehicle company (LEVC) has equipped every TXE taxi with USB charging points as well as a full-size power socket which can be used to charge your laptop or smartphone for example. On top of that, you’re able to gain access to free 4G Wifi while onboard, control air conditioning with climate control and switch on/off the speaker to communicate with your taxi driver. You can also make payments via cash and card including contactless.
I booked my journey via Sherbet Ride which is now live and taking bookings. Passengers can book in many ways. There are a user-friendly app, a web booker and a telephone booking service. Sherbet Ride also offers very competitive fixed fares, so the cost of the journey is known from the start.
With the introduction of the Ultra-low Emission zone in London this April, more businesses will be moving over to taxi companies that operate an electric fleet. Businesses in the zone need to think about ways to reduce pollution and reduce their carbon footprint.

The new London taxi models are increasingly populating the capital’s streets – here are the things you will love about Sherbet London taxis.
Besides it is fully equipped with exciting and enjoyable new features for the passenger such as onboard 4G Free WiFi, charging sockets for mobile phones and laptops and dazzling panoramic roof, the Sherbet London Electric Taxis offers most comfortable and efficient taxi driving experience so far.
Certainly, the good news for the Electric taxi owners is that its battery charge will last 24 hours (considering the average 80-120 mile driving distance). Even more, the charging itself (boosting to 80% with a 50kw charger) only takes 25 minutes.
There’s no surprise to hear that the Electric taxis is significantly more environmentally friendly than the standard diesel TX4. In fact, from 1st January 2019, all new black taxis in London must have emissions of no more than 50g/km as well as a minimum zero-emission range of 30 miles. The Electric taxi company manufacturer LEVC built the TXE model that can drive 80 miles with 0 emissions (Carbon emissions of 29g/km driving on the range extender).
The completely new (Bentley-like) TXE design definitely increases the number of hands on the streets that hail the taxi down. People want to experience a ride in the new iconic black taxis as well as contribute to a greener environment. What is more, the ‘for hire’ light always looks like its on even though it’s been switched off so expect people constantly wanting to hail.
The new safety features in the Electric taxi include the driver’s wheel, thorax and curtain airbags, passengers additional curtain airbags for side impact protection, emergence autonomous braking, lane departure warnings, and forward collision warnings.
Comparing to diesel TX4’s the Sherbet London Electric Taxis offers a significantly smoother and effortless ride for both the driver and passengers. Firstly, the TXE has regenerative braking which essentially slows the vehicle when you lift your foot off the accelerators. It is incredibly quiet and unlike the diesel engine, the driving noise is hardly noticeable on the streets and inside the taxi.
The new London taxi model has significantly lower running costs comparing to standard TX’s. For example, the driver is saving up to £110 per week on fuel! Over five years that adds up to saving over £27k! (Based on an average price of fuel from April last year)
