Given gas prices, cost of oil changes, and the number of miles being driven per year it probably makes economic sense.

It's too bad Toyota doesn't make battery-electric cars; they'd be the perfect car for a taxi. Teslas are expensive and not that reliable, but if Toyota decided they wanted to capture that market they should be able to dominate it with their reliability ratings.
