byTom Oakley-NewellApril 4, 2023 A new agreement between Uber and bp will see Uber drivers offered exclusive deals at bp charging stations to help them transition to EVs.
The new global mobility agreement will help accelerate Uber’s commitment to become a zero-tailpipe emissions mobility platform in Europe, Canada, and the US by 2030, and globally by 2040.
Initially the focus will be on the European, US, and UK markets to support Uber’s 2030 targets, with Australia and New Zealand to follow.
Richard Bartlett, CEO of bp pulse, said Drivers on Uber’s platform need great value access to the fast, reliable charging infrastructure we’re building as they make the switch to electric.
“We’re investing billions of dollars worldwide in high-speed EV charging, digital products and services, and large scale bp pulse Gigahubs that will help commercial customers eliminate tailpipe emissions.”
The agreement will see drivers on the Uber platform offered bespoke deals that are tailored to each market, providing incentives for them to charge with bp pulse. The companies will also explore the option of offering convenience and fuel offers at bp’s nearly 21,000 branded retail sites. +++ https://www.c-store.com.au/uber-and-bp-team-up-to-accelerate-ev-transition/
