Uber expand its electric car service to 14 new cities

Uber is expanding its upscale electric car service to 14 new cities in North America, bringing the total number of markets to 25.

The company will spend $800 million of its own money to help “hundreds of thousands of drivers in the US, Canada, and Europe transition to battery EVs by 2025”.

Uber isn’t the first transportation company to pledge to shift to electric vehicles.

In June, Lyft announced it would transition “100 percent” of its fleet to electric cars by 2030.

The company is also working to convince more of its drivers to drive electric vehicles.

Uber recently announced that 15,000 drivers have signed on to rent Tesla vehicles through its partnership with Hertz.
