Tesla vehicles to become available for Uber drivers in London
Tesla cars will be available to Uber drivers in London looking to buy or lease a green vehicle
The electronic vehicle transition part of an incentive to boost electric car use, which has already led to a 135 million pound increase.
Over 4,000 Uber drivers have switched to electric vehicles in London, which gives the app more fully electric cars than in any other major global city.
Uber has introduced a clean air fee, which adds 3 pence to every mile of a passenger trip in London.
It comes a week after Tesla announced a partnership with Hertz to offer 50,000 Teslas as a rental option for its ride-hail drivers by 2023 in the United States.
Hertz plans to order 100,000 new EVs for its fleet
It is the biggest-ever order from rental car company Hertz, and a deal that has reinforced the electric car leader’s ambitions to top the entire auto industry in sales over the next decade.
But for Tesla and its investors, Hertz’s decision to order 100,000 Tesla vehicles by the end of 2022 showed electric vehicles are no longer a niche product, but will dominate the mass car market in the near future.
