Uber is expanding Comfort Electric to 14 new markets across the U.S. and Canada. Customers who are in 40 North American markets can book a flashy, environmentally friendly ride.
Models included in the new expansion are Tesla models S, 3, X and Y, the Polestar 2, the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the Audi e-Tron, the Porsche Taycan and the Hyundai Ioniq.
Uber has a clear goal to become a zero-emissions mobility platform by 2030 in the U.S, Canada and Europe and therefore, this expansion is clearly in line with this goal. To hit this target, ride-hail trips must be done in EVs by 2030.
Uber said its partnership with Hertz to rent Teslas to drivers in over 30 U.S. and Canadian cities has helped accelerate EV adoption across its drivers in the U.S.
This partnership was expanded to Europe in January which made 25,000 Tesla and Polestar vehicles available to users by 2025. This started in London, then Paris and Amsterdam.
Comfort Electric was launched by Uber in May 2022 in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Dubai. The new markets opened Thursday include Detroit, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Montreal (Canada), Nashville, New Orleans, Orlando, Palm Springs, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City, Tampa Bay and Toronto (Canada).
