In the last year or so, Uber has been making progress on electrifying the driver-owned or driver-rented fleet. As part of its global commitment to becoming a zero-emissions mobility platform by 2040, Uber took steps
to help drivers go electric. Last year, it announced a partnership with Hertz to make up to 50,000 Teslas available for drivers to rent by 2023. Then, it built an “EV Hub” in the Uber Driver app, a one-stop shop where they can get information and incentives to join the electric revolution, and even compare the cost of ownership of an EV with a non-EV.
Because so many of the Uber Comfort Electric cars are Teslas, Uber had to add instructions to the app on how to open a Tesla’s door handles. Uber had heard from drivers that some riders are having difficulty figuring out how to open the Tesla door handle. Now it’s no sweat — passengers can check out an in-app notification that pops up once they’re matched with a Tesla. This makes it so that they won’t struggle when the car pulls up.
One thing Uber won’t tell you is that many people are doing Uber because they’ve fallen on hard times. If you lose a job or a business goes south, you can sign up for Uber and start bringing in at least some money immediately while you’re waiting to find a job. Unlike McDonald’s, Walmart, or some call center job, they won’t turn you away because you’re overqualified and they know they’ll lose you the moment better opportunities come along.
, and many subsequent posts about EVs and electric driver incentives have linked back to that announcement.
