Uber launches electric car service
The American company Uber launched the Uber Comfort Electric service, “the transportation service with electric cars” for the first time in several cities around the year, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and the Emirates of Dubai.
This service from Uber is distinguished by the fact that it offers a number of electric cars from Tesla and Polestar.
It is worth noting that this announcement by Uber came a year after it announced its partnership with car rental company Hertz, which will provide more than 50,000 Tesla cars for Uber drivers to rent by 2023.
On the other hand, Polestar, a subsidiary of Volvo, has signed an agreement with Hertz to supply 65,000 electric vehicles over the next five years.
In this regard, Uber affirmed, during its last statement, the continuation of its global commitment to become a zero-emissions platform by 2040, by taking steady steps towards the electric transition.
Uber also announced that it is providing drivers with several features alongside its platform, which include incentives to switch to electric trucks, an electric car cost calculator, and a map showing the nearest places with electric car chargers.
From the foregoing, it becomes clear to us that after Uber announced the launch of the electric vehicle transportation service, electric vehicles are gaining wide demand, which is likely to get more attention in the near future.
Uber launches self-driving food delivery service
After Uber added an electric car service, it also added another pilot service, which is the delivery of food by self-propelled vehicles in two cities in the US state of California.
The global transport company confirmed that cars in both services will be subject to active monitoring by human operators, stressing that it will take some time for this technology to operate on a large scale.
Uber also noted that it is seeking to launch a map of electric vehicle charging stations through its driver application within the United States of America this year 2022, and then in the rest of the world at a later time, in the context of encouraging drivers to switch to cars that Operated by battery.
