Cabbies living in Kent, Essex or East Sussex could receive £20,000 grant for electric taxis

Taxi drivers could receive up to £20,000 off new LEVC TX for business living in Kent, Essex or East Sussex. The LoCASE is an EU funded project in partnership with Kent County Council, East Sussex County Council, Essex County Council, Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, Thurrock Council and the University of Brighton. It offers grants for energy efficiency and carbon saving measures to help SMEs - including taxi drivers - switch towards a greener electric taxi. To assess eligibility cabbies will need to complete the LoCASE evaluation questionnaire found here. Upon completion of the online evaluation questionnaire a member of the LoCASE team will be in touch to advise on the next steps. Once the driver receives confirmation from the LoCASE team that the driver is eligible for the grant they are advised to contact LEVC to discuss the purchase options for a brand spanking new TX.
