Uber Electric

We are continuously thinking about new ways to improve our app, driver partner earnings and passenger experience.

Electric vehicles are more profitable for you, more comfortable for your customers and cleaner for the environment. If you drive with an eligible electric vehicle, you can receive Electric trips.

While on Electric, you will also receive UberX trips. This gives you the possibility to receive more trips for a better profitability.
