Green Ride

One day, all taxis in Tokyo may look like this. Hinomaru Limousine’s Zero Taxi is the capital’s first zero-emission cab, an electric four-seater with a range of approximately 160km that can be quick-charged to 80 percent capacity in just half an hour. Eco car geeks will recognize the vehicle lurking beneath the paintwork as Mitsubishi’s i-Miev, a consumer kei car which first went on sale here last July. Hinomaru currently has two Zero Taxis operating during the daytime in the Marunouchi area, each complete with a female driver and an information display that gives the lowdown on the neighborhood.

Call 03-3212-0505 for reservations. http://hinomaru.co.jp
