Kia gets its first customer for the PV5 modular electric vehicle: Uber


Uber has said it would go 100 percent electric by 2040.

Kia and Uber have signed an memorandum of understanding to use the automaker’s newly announced PBV modular electric vehicles for ridehailing. Currently, Uber works with automakers to offer drivers flexible leases on EVs and incentives like added bonuses on each trip they do in an electric vehicle. Uber previously made a deal with UK-based startup Arrival to acquire its EVs, but that company is barely staying afloat these days.
