Uber Technologies Inc. reports that the cost barrier for electric vehicles is diminishing, making EV adoption more feasible for drivers in the US and UK. However, the primary concern has shifted to charging accessibility, as many drivers lack home charging options. To address these challenges, Uber has enlisted Rebecca Tinucci from Tesla to lead efforts in enhancing charging infrastructure. The company has initiated partnerships in London, Boston, and Phoenix and is deploying tools to help determine future EV charging needs in these cities, aiming to serve nearly 60% of the EV users on its platform.
Prices for electric vehicles are declining, making cost less of an obstacle for drivers, but EV adoption faces new challenges with charging access on the rise.
Uber is taking active steps to improve charging access for its drivers by launching partnerships and tools to assess future demand for EV infrastructure.
