Thousands of London Uber drivers who have switched to using a fully electric car say they are likely to go back to a petrol or diesel version when they have to start paying the congestion charge early next year, according to a poll.
So far an estimated 20,000 Uber drivers in the capital — some 40 per cent — have switched to electric vehicles (EVs), in large part because of an exemption from the daily charge for entering central London, which is currently £15.
