According to foreign media reports, Uber provided the latest news on the use of electric vehicles on its platform.
The ride-hailing company said that there are currently more than 180,000 electric vehicles available for reservation on the platform, and the company is still doing a lot of work to ensure that this number continues to grow rapidly.
Uber hopes to provide only electric car ride-hailing services by 2040.
The company announced at the “Go Get Zero” event in London that as of now, more than 182,000 electric vehicles around the world can be booked through the Uber app.
, In London, more than 30% of Uber’s trips are completed by electric vehicles.
Uber Green’s service, which allows customers to consciously choose between electric or hybrid vehicles, is currently available in more than 200 cities around the world.
In the near future, Uber Green will expand to more than 40 cities, including versions that can only be booked for pure electric vehicles.
As mentioned earlier, this option previously also included hybrid vehicles.

This feature allows passengers to specify in the app that if there is an electric car nearby, they are more likely to book an electric car, thereby achieving as many zero-emission travel as possible.
, Uber does not operate its own fleet, but invites independent drivers or contract companies to provide ride-hailing services to passengers through the Uber platform, at least most of the time.
Uber is planning to launch an electric vehicle experience event to allow users to experience the world’s most innovative electric vehicles.
For example, passengers can try the Lotus Eletre electric SUV in London, and the new Rivian R1 in Los Angeles, Miami and Dallas.
, Uber also plans to take a number of measures to make it easier for drivers to transition to electric vehicles.
For example, its electric vehicle guidance program will connect experienced electric vehicle drivers with “drivers who are curious about electric vehicles.
” In addition, the artificial intelligence assistant in the driver app will answer all questions related to electric vehicles for drivers.
