Electric London cab specialist

Sell my TX5. Electric cab, real cab-trade money.

The electric London black cab. Generalist buyers rarely have the licensed-Hackney network and either decline or lowball. We sell to active Hackney fleet operators, so you get real cab-trade prices, not a generic used-EV quote.

What we look for

Four things that shape your TX5 offer.

Battery state-of-health

The high-voltage pack is the single biggest value driver on an electric cab. We read state-of-health, not just the dashboard range. A recent battery health check helps us firm up the offer fast, so bring the report if you have one.

TfL Hackney plate

A live London Hackney plate adds real money, the licensed-trade resale network pays for plate-ready cabs. An expired or surrendered plate is still fine, we plate-strip on your behalf at no cost.

Charging kit and history

The Type 2 cable and any home-charge records travel with the cab. Documented servicing on the electric drivetrain and brakes matters more than a headline mileage figure on a working London cab.

Mileage in context

Electric Hackney cabs cover serious London miles. We price on battery health, plate, body and service history combined, not an algorithmic mileage cap that punishes a hard-working cab.

Common questions

TX5-specific FAQs.

What is the difference between selling a TX5 and the range-extended TX?+

We treat them as separate models. The TX5 search usually means the fully electric London cab, while the range-extended TX carries a small petrol generator. Both sell into the same licensed-Hackney network. We price each on its own drivetrain, the electric cab on battery health, the range-extended TX on the generator plus battery. If you have the range-extended TX, our LEVC TX page covers it.

My cab's battery range has dropped. Can you still buy it?+

Yes. A tired pack on an electric cab is a known refurbishment cost, we price it in honestly upfront rather than spring it on you at collection. Bring any diagnostic reports, the more we know on day one, the firmer the offer.

Do I keep my TfL plate when I sell?+

TfL plates are non-transferable, so the cab keeps its plate until you surrender it or we plate-strip on your behalf. A live-plate electric cab carries a licensed-trade premium over an unplated one, typically a few thousand pounds depending on remaining plate validity.

How fast can you collect and pay?+

Free collection anywhere in the UK, usually within a few days of you accepting the offer. Payment by bank transfer on the day we collect. No buyer fees taken off the number we agree.
