Need a premium electric vehicle?
Drivers are welcome to purchase their own premium electric vehicle (EV). Uber recognizes that EVs are expensive and has partnered with Hertz to offer the rental of 50,000 Tesla Model 3s specifically for drivers on Uber.
The partnership in North America has already benefited tens of thousands of drivers on the Uber platform. To date, nearly 50,000 drivers have rented a Tesla through this program, completing more than 24 million fully-electric trips and over 260 million electric miles.
