Just been up to Newcastle and back in the Leaf , but in a conversation with a taxi driver taking me and my mother to the RVI ( there is no way to successfully drop Kate off safely while parking and there are definitely no special privileges for EVs in that hot bed of taxi and ambulance activity) he made an interesting point regarding the need for "pit stop type" battery replacements for taxi drivers if EVs were ever to have any relevance in his working world. His vehicle cost him £25000 and needed to be run almost permanently to make the repayments, fuel costs and a living (possibly a tad on the sob story side).
