Uber expands its $4,000 ‘Go Electric’ grant to drivers nationwide | The Verge

This page reports that Uber is expanding its 'Go Electric' grant program nationwide. Previously available only in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, and New York City, the program now extends to drivers across the country. The $4,000 grant helps drivers swap gas vehicles for electric ones. With rising gas prices directly reducing driver income and federal EV purchase incentives eliminated, Uber aims to facilitate the transition to electric vehicles. Applications will be processed starting April 16th. Uber currently has 286,000 EV drivers globally but falls short of its goal to achieve complete carbon neutrality in North America and Europe by 2030 and worldwide by 2040.
