Uber outlines plans to electrify its rides and reduce emissions across its mobility platforms by 2025. It discusses partnerships and programs in various cities around the world since 2016 to promote electric vehicles and increase the number of electric vehicle trips by Uber drivers. It acknowledges challenges to greater electric vehicle adoption such as upfront costs, lack of infrastructure, and policies not supportive of high-utilization electric vehicles. Uber sees opportunities to work with cities and partners to address these challenges and fully electrify rides in London by 2025 for increased emissions savings and grid benefits.

8. Low adoption
Affordability and worse-off
economics
Lack of suitable infrastructure
Historic barriers to access for
lower income drivers
Lack of supportive policies for
high utilization EVs
Addressing needs of majority,
casual peer-to-peer drivers
Challenges
5-year total cost of ownership (TCO) average cost per mile
for “full-time” ride-hailing EV drivers (US) - for new longer-
range, 250-mile, EVs - expected to reach parity with new
hybrid drivers by 2023 (ICCT, 2019)
