If you’re considering switching to an electric vehicle (EV), there won’t be a better moment. With  major savings and upcoming test drive opportunities, going electric is now easier — and more rewarding — than ever.

Uber, in partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE), has rolled out an exciting new incentive program designed to support drivers who are ready to go electric. Here’s what you need to know:

    • Earn up to $2,000 – Drivers can now earn $100 for every 100 trips they complete in an EV, up to a total of $2,000.¹
    • Support every step of the way – Whether you’re new to EVs or ready to upgrade, we’re here to help you navigate your journey.
    • Try before you commit – Special test drive event for Uber drivers.

On top of these incentives, you can stack Colorado’s state incentives (up to $6,000 tax credit for a new EV and $6,000 for trading in an old vehicle) with the federal EV tax credit of up to $7,500. The federal tax credit ends on September 30, 2025, so don’t miss out on a total of $21,500 in savings for eligible drivers!

Plus, driving an EV with Uber can come with extra benefits. Drivers of fully electric vehicles are eligible for Uber’s Zero Emissions incentive and can earn an extra $210 for every 200 EV trips completed in a a 30-day period. ²  Plus, eligible EVs unlock access to exclusive ride types like Uber Green and Comfort Electric, which can help with more trip requests.

Try an EV Before You Commit – Join Us August 27!

Curious about what it’s like behind the wheel of an EV? Join us at the Lowry Conference Center on August 27 from 10:00am – 2:00pm MST for a special EV experience day:

  • Take a ride in several different EV models
  • Speak directly with EV experts to get answers to your questions
  • Learn more about charging, costs, and daily driving
  • Get hands-on support to help you learn about the incentive program

This initiative is part of a broader effort to help support Governor Polis’ Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Roadmap, which outlines Colorado’s plan to cut emissions across all sectors. A key element of that roadmap is the Clean Fleet Enterprise, designed to help Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) like Uber increase the use of zero-emission vehicles. Backed by a $2 million grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE), we’re working together to accelerate EV adoption and make clean transportation more accessible across the state. 

Together, we’re doing our part to help ensure that every mile driven is a cleaner one for Coloradans.

The event is sponsored by CDPHE and is organized by EVNoire, a leading e-mobility equity and education organization.
