Expanding Partnerships to Sustain EV Momentum
Fleet Partner Expansion
Uber is growing its network of fleet partners to encourage EV development on its platform. Deploying 25,000 electric cars throughout the top seven cities will be made possible by partnerships with Lithium Urban Technologies, Everest Fleet Private Limited, and Moove—a worldwide fleet partner. This project expands upon Uber’s established Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) earlier this year for EV delivery with Tata Motors.
EV Two-Wheeler Partnership
Uber is collaborating with Zypp Electric, a tech-enabled EV-as-a-service firm, to promote sustainable mobility in the quickly expanding UberMoto category. Over 1,000 electric two-wheelers are now in use in Delhi, and 10,000 will be deployed by 2024.
EV Financing
Uber and the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) have inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU), making low-interest loans of Rs 1,000 crores available to fleet partners. This funding is intended to help fleet partners buy EVs and CNG cars.
EV Charging Infrastructure
Through a collaboration with JioBP, Uber will extend the terms of its global mobility deal with BP Pulse to India. Through this partnership, Uber’s EVs will have access to fast-charging infrastructure. Uber and GMR Green are also collaborating to improve the Uber EV charging network, giving drivers access to high-speed charging stations.
