    Only drivers who had already secured and begun receiving payments (e.g. rental drivers) can continue to claim as long as they meet eligibility requirements.

  • If you did not make a claim or place an order by the deadline, or meet the trip requirements, you are no longer eligible for EV Assistance. This is a permanent and final change.

  • Yes, if you are actively renting an EV and continue meeting the eligibility criteria (including maintaining 150 trips in the past 8 weeks and actively driving the EV), your monthly payments will continue until your assistance fund is used up.

  • While EV Assistance has now closed, Uber will continue supporting drivers switching to electric vehicles through discounts, education, and access to benefits like Uber Green.

  • Drivers can still access exclusive discounts, charging offers, and educational resources. Book a 1:1 with an EV Expert or check the latest vehicle offers on the Uber Vehicle Marketplace.

  • Join our EV webinar, or book a free in person appointment with an EV Expert to explore offers and get guidance tailored to your needs.
