Uber and EVgo are partnering to accelerate zero-emission mobility across the United States, offering special savings for EV drivers on Uber's platform at over 800 EVgo charging stations.

A UC Davis study published in Nature Energy found that replacing gas-powered rideshare vehicles with EVs delivers three times the carbon benefits compared to personally owned electric vehicles.

Key initiatives of this partnership include:

  • Uber's $800M commitment to help drivers transition to EVs within five years
  • $1 additional earnings per trip for EV drivers on Uber's platform in the US and Canada
  • Uber Green availability in 1400+ North American cities, offering hybrid or EV rides that produce 44% fewer carbon emissions
  • EVgo's expansion of their 100% renewable-powered network, which has already enabled over 255 million zero-emission miles

EVgo currently serves more than 220,000 EV drivers and continues to add new charging locations monthly, making fast charging increasingly accessible to all EV drivers.

This collaboration aims to:

  • Make charging more economical for drivers
  • Reduce dependence on fossil fuels
  • Build a sustainable transportation grid
  • Support green recovery in urban transportation systems

Both companies are committed to reducing climate change impact through clean transportation initiatives, working together to create a more sustainable future through zero-emission mobility.
