Uber and BYD have announced a multi-year partnership to bring 100,000 electric vehicles from BYD onto Uber’s platform in several key markets where Uber operates. The initial focus will be on Europe and Latin America, with plans to expand to the Middle East, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
According to the plan outlined, Uber will provide financial support for drivers to own BYD vehicles on the platform, offering not only financing options but also discounts on electric charging, maintenance, and insurance.
CEO of Uber, Dara Khosrowshahi, stated that as more Uber drivers transition to using EVs, not only will greenhouse gas emissions decrease, but it will also encourage more people to adopt EVs. Uber’s data shows that many individuals have their first experience using an EV through Uber, showcasing the potential to showcase EVs to a global audience.
TLDR: Uber and BYD partner to bring 100,000 electric vehicles to Uber’s platform, offering financial support and incentives for drivers to use EVs and promote widespread EV adoption.
