2 completely different technologies , The T8 is a hybrid ie it has a normal petrol engine connected to the front wheels and an electric motor on the rear axle and a battery in the remaining space available .
The taxi is a designed to be pure electric car so has space for a larger battery.
It's engine is NOT connected to the wheels it just runs a generator to help charge the battery or run the electric motor if the car runs out of battery range .
