Drivers can apply now with applications processed beginning April 16.\nUber has over 286,000 EVs on its global rideshare platform with drivers rapidly switching to electric vehicles.\n\"Uber's transition to electric is being driven by thousands of drivers making the switch, as the economics of owning an EV continue to improve,\" Uber Global Head of Electrification & Sustainability Andrew Cornelia said, as shared by Electrek.\nAlong with the $4,000 grant for drivers who switch to electric vehicles, Uber also partnered with automotive company Kia for discounts on select EV models.\nUber's website also shows the company is increasing its discount offering for gas for drivers who have gas-powered cars. This includes expanded partnerships with Upside and Shell.\nWhile the federal EV tax credit for $7,500 in the United States is gone, electric vehicle demand could see an uptick thanks to rising gas prices.\nSearches for \"gas prices\" have hit a new year high and are at their highest search volume on Google since June 2022. Other popular searches include \"gas near me,\" \"gas prices near me\" and \"when will gas prices go down.\"\nSearches for \"electric vehicles\" have also hit a new yearly high and are at their highest volume on Google since March 2022.\nSince the attack on Iran was towards the end of the first quarter, which resulted in higher gas prices and increased searches for electric vehicles, the companies making EVs could see a spillover effect into the second quarter for demand.\nEV demand could rise in the coming months if gas prices continue to stay high. Companies like Uber could be the first of many to offer ways for their employees to save on higher gas prices and/or offer incentives to switch to electric vehicles.\nUber wants to be carbon neutral in the future in North America and previously said it wanted to get all drivers to switch to EVs. The rising gas prices may speed up the company's goals.\nImage via Shutterstock\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.39.0","shortVersion":"4.39.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2624686325","isCrawlerRequest":true}
