25 quid is NOT enough. Access should not be reserved for the rich but should be blocked to all.
London does not need motorcars. I would ban them completely as in Zermatt, the center of towns like Maastricht, Gent, ... Electric cars are mainly just Methadone for car junkies (the auto and gas industries are fighting their opium war) little different from and as an option for those that truely need motorized individual transportation such as police, medical/psychological care (includes also priests, rabbis, imams, etc.) , fire dept, etc.
Without the roads clogged with cars other forms of mass transport start working well and bicycles become more attractive on a mass level. Given limits on manpower and costs I don't imagine the void could be filled with electric taxis.
