Uber Green Is Now Uber Electric: Here’s How London Drivers Can Make the Switch

Uber has announced that Uber Green is now Uber Electric, marking another milestone in their push towards a zero-emission future.

The update reflects how quickly EVs are being adopted by Uber drivers globally, with Uber drivers going electric up to five times faster than the average motorist in the US, Canada, and Europe. 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 supporting London drivers through this transition with our flexible path to ownership EV plans and PCO-ready electric cars designed for Uber Electric.

What does the Uber Electric name change mean for drivers?

The name may have changed, but the goal is the same: more electric trips, cleaner cities, and better opportunities for drivers.

With Uber Electric, riders can easily select all-electric journeys, which will inturn increase demand for drivers using EVs. To celebrate, Uber is offering 20% off Electric rides with the code GOELECTRIC20, encouraging more riders to experience the benefits of EV travel.
