Uber has announced this investment, which is intended to cover costs for site development, equipment, grid connections, and the associated infrastructure required to build charging stations, according to an Uber spokesperson speaking to Bloomberg. Both partnerships align with the planned locations for the DC fast charging stations. For instance, Uber drivers in the US who wish to purchase an electric vehicle can receive a grant of up to $4,000 US dollars. These agreements aim to promote the installation of hundreds of new charging stations in these cities. Uber drivers will receive discounts at these charging stations, and in return, Uber will guarantee high utilisation rates.
