Uber is adding an EV-only option in many cities

At its Go-Get Zero event, Uber announced more sustainability efforts, including an EV-only option for rides and helping drivers get more info about going electric with the help of an AI chatbot.

The all-electric Uber Green option, which will cost about the same as an UberX, will initially be available in 40 cities and the company plans to expand this over time. On the Uber Eats front, you'll be able to order fresh produce from farmers markets starting today in New York City and Los Angeles. Starting in the US early next year, drivers can ask an AI assistant in the Uber app for personalized advice about the EV that would work best for them and the city they operate in.
