Global rideshare giant Uber will phase hybrid vehicles out of its Uber Green service in Australia by April 2025, with only electric vehicles able to be hailed. Uber Green, which currently matches riders with a broad range of low- and zero emission vehicles, will become Uber’s second fully electric rideshare service when it freezes out hybrids. The company already offers Comfort Electric, a premium EV rideshare service. 100s of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now.
EVs completed just over five percent of Australian Uber trips during the third quarter of this year. In addition to removing hybrids from its Green service, Uber Australia is set to expand its used EV marketplace in collaboration with Car Empire.
