Uber Comfort Electric

Why Did Uber Introduce Comfort Electric?
We’ve introduced Comfort Electric as a premium sustainability offering in support of Uber’s commitment to be a zero-emission platform in key markets by 2030.

Uber Comfort Electric gives riders a new way to go from A to B and be a part of the climate solution. It’s as simple as tapping a button and going anywhere while helping to combat climate change along the way.

Comfort Electric is now available in the below 25 US cities and Vancouver:

Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore-Maryland, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Connecticut, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New Jersey, NYC Suburbs, Philadelphia, Portland, Sacramento, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, St Louis, Vancouver (Canada), Washington D.C. 

Uber Comfort Electric Driver Requirements

Need a Premium Electric Vehicle?

Drivers are welcome to purchase their own premium electric vehicle (EV). However, Uber recognizes that EVs are expensive and has partnered with Hertz to unlock 50,000 Tesla Model 3s specifically for Uber drivers.

To date, more than 25,000* drivers have rented a Tesla through this program – and they’re making a real impact. Together they’ve completed more than five million fully-electric trips, driven over 40 million electric miles, and saved 5.7M gallons of gasoline. 

You can learn more about the partnership here.

Uber will even provide a $40 credit for you to pick up your rented vehicle!

Driver Feedback and Uber’s Commitment to Sustainability

We’ve received great feedback from riders about Comfort Electric but they’re not the only ones enjoying this new product experience – drivers are too. Drivers eligible for Comfort Electric can earn more per hour as a result of higher fares, gas savings, and an extra $1-per-trip incentive for each trip they complete (up to $4K annually).

With an electric vehicle, you can also say goodbye to gas. Drivers using Uber get access to exclusive discounts home charging options and public charging like exclusive EVgo¹ discounts, and others, which help to boost gas savings.

Drivers are making a positive environmental impact: in 2022 alone, EV drivers active on the Uber platform have avoided using over 5.7M gallons of gasoline.
