To celebrate Earth Day this month, Uber has a few things to share. Starting with the introduction of Comfort Electric to Toronto and Montreal. Tap a button and find a premium EV like a Tesla, Polestar, or a Ford Mustang Mach-E. This is Uber’s first all-electric rides product in the app. They first introduced Comfort Electric to Canadians in Vancouver last year. From April 11-30, riders can get up to 25% (up to $10) off two Comfort Electric trips with the code GOELECTRIC. More info here.
There’s also new data on Uber’s partnership with Hertz which was announced in the summer of 2022. Under that partnership, drivers can sign up to rent Teslas on a weekly basis in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. This partnership gives drivers an opportunity to try an electric vehicle as their primary rideshare vehicle and understand the benefits and cost savings of going electric.
Since launch in July 2022, Uber has seen:
- Over 1,600 drivers participate in this program and with more than 700,000 fully electric trips completed.
- This totals over 7 million kilometres driven.
- 82% of drivers, in Canada, renting a Tesla through Hertz have never owned or driven an EV prior to this program.
Uber has also renewed their partnership with Plug’n Drive, a non-profit committed to accelerating EV adoption. Over the last year, Plug’n Drive has hosted 11 webinars and 3 in-person EV test drive events with over 1200 drivers attending. These are great opportunities for drivers to learn about the total cost of owning an EV and the benefits of making the switch from gas to electric.
Uber has committed to becoming a zero-emissions mobility platform in Canada, the US and Europe by 2030, and globally by 2040. That means every single driver on the Uber platform needs to be in an EV. Click here for information about our progress and plans.
