Together on the road to zero emissions
Uber helped change the way the world moves. And we’re committed to changing the way the world moves forward. That’s why we’re announcing our commitment to becoming a zero-emission platform in US and Canadian cities as well as in major global cities where we can ensure a fair transition for drivers, by 2030—a goal that can only be achieved by working together.
Why go electric?
There are lots of reasons to make the switch to an electric vehicle, also known as an EV.
Fuel savings
EVs enjoy reduced costs with the price of electricity compared to petrol or diesel as fuel
Better for your city
Driving EVs helps reduce emissions, lower air pollution levels making your city a healthier place for everyone
EV technology
EV technology makes for a great ride. Drivers who’ve made the switch say their new EVs are comfortable and easy to maintain, and that their riders also love the quieter, smoother trips.
Making charging work for you
EV drivers charge using either public or home chargers, or a combination of the two.
Public chargers can come in a variety of types and speeds. As you prepare to make the switch to an EV, it’s worth researching nearby charging stations. You can view them right in the Driver app by selecting the search magnifying glass at the top right of the homescreen, then choosing Chargers.
If you have access to overnight off-street parking, like a private driveway or garage, installing a home charger can make charging an EV convenient and more affordable. Home charger specifications also vary, so exploring which option could be the best fit for your vehicle is worthwhile.
Helping you go electric
Drivers like you are leading the way toward a greener future, and Uber is committed to supporting you. If you’re thinking about making the switch, here are some ways we can help you:
Drivers of fully electric vehicles (EVs) are eligible for Uber’s Zero Emissions incentive and can earn an extra $100-$250, depending on their city, after completing 200 eligible rides in an EV every 30 days through November 3rd, 2025.

¹The Zero Emissions incentive is available every 30 days to eligible drivers in the U.S. for a limited time. The last day for a driver to be eligible to participate in the incentive is November 3rd, 2025 at 10am PT. Incentive amount varies by city: Drivers in Boston, Western Massachusetts, or Worcester can earn $250 per 30-day period; Drivers in Austin, Bakersfield, Chicago, Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, Fresno, Houston, Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Miami, Modesto, New Jersey, New Orleans, Orange County, Palm Springs, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Rockies, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Seattle, Ventura, or Washington, D.C. can earn $210 per 30-day period. New York City drivers can earn $100 per 30-day period. Drivers in all other cities can earn $150 per 30-day period. Offer only available to eligible rideshare drivers who provide zero-emission rides and otherwise meet the incentive criteria during their 30-day incentive period(s). Fleet Drivers are not eligible. A Fleet Driver is defined as a driver who utilizes a vehicle provided by a Fleet to complete trips on the Uber platform. Only battery electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles are eligible. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles are not eligible. Uber Eats, Uber Connect, and other delivery trips are not eligible. Canceled rides do not count. Drivers who complete at least 200 EV rides in a 30-day incentive period will receive the incentive; drivers who complete less than 200 EV rides in an incentive period will not receive the incentive. 30 day incentive periods will be unique to each eligible driver. In cases where the vehicle information provided to Uber is not sufficient for determining whether the vehicle is an EV, the vehicle will not be eligible to receive the incentive. Drivers should become eligible for the incentive within approximately 24 hours of when they take their first trip in a zero-emission vehicle, though sometimes longer. Incentive payments will be added to a driver’s account after completing the incentive criteria. Uber reserves the right to (1) withhold or deduct payments in the event of error, suspected fraud, illegality, or violation of driver terms or these terms, (2) change the trip requirements, incentive payouts, or other offer details at any time and without notice, and (3) disqualify a vehicle at any time that does not meet the eligibility requirements.
