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:

¹The $210 Zero Emissions incentive will be available in the U.S. only starting on April 11, 2024 on or around 10 am local time (start time may vary based on location and other factors). The last day for a driver to be eligible to participate in the incentive is January 4, 2025 at 10am PT. Incentive payments will be added to a driver’s account after completing the incentive criteria. Offer only available to eligible rideshare drivers who provide zero-emission rides and otherwise meet the incentive criteria during their 30-day incentive period. Uber Eats, Uber Connect, and other delivery trips are not eligible. Canceled rides do not count. Only battery electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles are eligible. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles are not eligible. 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. 30 day periods will be unique to each eligible driver. Drivers are eligible for the $210 Zero Emissions incentive every 30 days. Specifically, drivers who complete at least 200 rides in an EV will receive the $210 incentive; drivers who take less than 200 EV rides will not receive the incentive. Drivers can earn a maximum of $210 per 30-day period. 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.
