Uber is modifying its efforts to get cleaner vehicles on the road with a new $4,000 rebate program for drivers who buy an electric vehicle for use in the company’s “Uber Electric” service, a ride option formerly dubbed Uber Green in its app.
The San Francisco-based company said the move comes after federal tax credits of $7,500 for new EVs and $4,000 for used ones were phased out by the Trump administration, concluding on Sept. 30. For now, the Uber grants can be used only in New York, California, Colorado and Massachusetts, for both new and used EVs, the company said. An additional $1,000 discount is also available for all U.S. Uber drivers who buy a new or used EV from car-shopping site TrueCar.com.
