Uber partners with BYD to bring 100,000 EVs onto roads
The partnership will not expand to the US, where import tariffs on Chinese EVs have more than tripled.
Ride-sharing app Uber has formed a partnership with Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD to bring 100,000 EVs onto roads in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The collaboration will support Uber drivers in transitioning to electric vehicles thanks to pricing discounts on charging, vehicle maintenance, or insurance, as well as financing and leasing options, bringing down the total cost of EV ownership.
