A 2016 Nissan Leaf has been chosen as the eco-friendly vehicle of choice for Matt Malkin, who recently established e-Taxi thanks to his love of cars. The service operates from Newport but accepts bookings Islandwide, providing they are economically viable. Matt, a 25-year-old graduate from Bournemouth University said: “I decided to go for an electric car over a conventional petrol or diesel powered car as I think there are exciting and a pleasure to drive. The cars are smooth and quiet and there is of course environmental benefits. “Ethics are important to us at e-Taxi; our business cards were made using recycled material and our branded eco clothing was sourced from Rapanui, to name just a few examples”. e-Taxi boasts heated seats, a Bose audio system and space-ship like comfort.
