Uber has made a deal with BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker, to bring 100,000 electric cars to its global fleet.
This agreement aims to make Uber’s rides greener and will start in Europe and Latin America before expanding to other regions like the Middle East, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Uber and BYD will provide incentives for drivers to switch to EVs, offering discounts on maintenance, charging, financing, and leasing. They hope to lower the overall cost of owning an electric car and increase the number of EVs on Uber’s platform.
This deal comes at a time when EV sales have slowed, and Chinese car makers face higher import taxes in the US and the European Union. To address these challenges, BYD is expanding its production outside China. Recently, they announced new factories in Turkey, Thailand, Hungary, and plans for a plant in Mexico.
Earlier this year, Uber also partnered with Tesla to encourage EV use among drivers in the US and is working with Kia on a new EV design. BYD, supported by US investor Warren Buffett, is the world’s second-largest EV company, following Tesla.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
