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:

Diamond drivers in California, Colorado, Massachusetts and New York city who switch to an EV and complete 100 eligible rides by April 30, 2026, can qualify for Uber’s $4,000 Go Electric incentive. Must apply here prior to switching to an EV. Incentive is limited time only, while supplies last in eligible markets.

Electric is a zero-emission ride option. If you drive an EV on the Uber platform, you’re automatically opted in to Uber Electric.

Comfort Electric

Uber Comfort Electric is a new rideshare option for riders to request top-rated drivers in a premium zero-emission vehicle.²

Charging

Access more than 850 fast charging locations nationwide—with many new locations on the way.

Drivers with Uber Pro Gold, Platinum, and Diamond status currently save up to 45% on EVgo's standard rates. No monthly or session fees.

Vehicle discounts and offers

Drivers can rent a fully elective vehicle (EV) or take advantage of EV purchase incentives through Uber’s partners. To view offers available in your market, visit Uber’s Vehicle Marketplace.

Uber will be a zero-emission mobility platform by 2040

¹Offer available only to Uber Pro drivers with Diamond status who are signed up to drive in Bakersfield, Boston, Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, Fresno, Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Modesto, New York City, Orange County, Palm Springs, Rockies, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Western Massachusetts, Worcester. Eligible drivers must first apply to the incentive program using this survey prior to switching to or adding a qualifying EV to their profile in order to qualify. Uber will confirm your eligibility within three weeks via email. Drivers must meet all eligibility requirements to qualify for the incentive and the incentive is first-come first-served for 2,500 drivers. Once your eligibility has been confirmed, you must switch to or add an EV within one month and then complete 100 qualifying trips with Uber by April 30th, 2026 to earn this one-time $4,000 incentive. Only personally owned or leased EVs added to the driver profile for the first time after eligibility confirmation will qualify. Rental EVs do not qualify. Trips will begin counting shortly after your first qualifying EV trip upon confirmed enrollment in the incentive program (more information will be provided in your confirmation email). In rare cases, due to a short lag in enrollment verification, you may need to complete slightly more than 100 total trips to satisfy the requirement. Drivers who already have or have ever had an EV on their driver profile are not eligible. The 100 trips must be completed in a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV)—hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles are not eligible. This incentive is only redeemable one-time. Only rideshare trips completed on the Uber platform qualify. Uber Eats, Uber Connect, and other delivery trips are not eligible. Canceled rides do not count. Incentive payments will be added to a driver’s account upon completion of the criteria. Payments are typically processed within 15 days but may take longer in some cases. Once funds are exhausted, no additional incentives will be paid, even if a driver meets the program criteria. Uber reserves the right to (1) withhold or deduct payments in the event of errors, suspected fraud, illegality, or violation of driver terms or these terms, (2) change the trip requirements, incentive payouts, or other program details at any time and without notice, and (3) disqualify a vehicle or driver at any time that does not meet the eligibility requirements. Offer is limited time only, while supplies last, and subject to change in Uber’s sole discretion.
