Uber Green Becomes Uber Electric: Here’s What It Means for Aussie Rideshare Drivers

Uber has taken another big step toward a zero-emission future, rebranding Uber Green to Uber Electric. It’s a sign of how quickly electric vehicles are becoming part of everyday rideshare.

According to Uber, more than 200,000 drivers worldwide are already driving electric vehicles through the platform, taking millions of zero-emission trips every week.

At Splend, we’re helping Australian drivers join this shift with our flexible rent-to-own EV plans designed for rideshare. Whether you’re new to driving or looking to upgrade, our EV range helps you earn more while driving cleaner.

What the change means for Uber drivers

Uber Electric makes it easier for riders to choose an all-electric trip which means more demand for drivers already behind the wheel of an EV. It’s also another sign that the future of rideshare is electric.

Uber is celebrating the rebrand with 20% off Electric rides for riders using the code GOELECTRIC20, encouraging more passengers to experience their first EV trip.

How Splend helps drivers make the switch

With charging networks expanding and EV options growing, it’s never been easier for Australian drivers to go electric.

When you drive an EV with Splend, you’ll get:

• Flexible 'path to ownership' terms that help you build towards ownership

• Registration, servicing, maintenance and more included

• Replacement tyres and brakes, plus a replacement vehicle if you have an accident so you can keep earning without interruption

• Local support from our teams across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Perth, Adelaide, and Canberra

We’ll also help you understand how to maximise your earnings and plan charging around your schedule so you can stay on the road longer.
