Overview

• For the first time in four years of surveys, Uber drivers in the US and UK say limited charging infrastructure, not EV cost, is their top barrier to electrification.
• Only 35% of Uber’s EV drivers in the US, 27% in the UK and 13% in the Netherlands have access to home chargers, highlighting gaps in private charging options.
• Uber hired former Tesla charging infrastructure head Rebecca Tinucci nine months ago to spearhead its electrification strategy.
• Under Tinucci’s leadership, the company has forged partnerships in London, Boston and Phoenix to expand public charging access for about 55,000 drivers.
• The new Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Estimator tool will help 40 cities map future charging needs and support Uber’s goal to go all-electric by 2040.
