Uber has announced a new initiative offering £5,000 grants to its drivers in London who switch to electric vehicles (EVs). This move is part of Uber's commitment to ensure that all its vehicles in the capital are fully electric by the end of 2025. The initiative has been praised by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who emphasized the importance of electric vehicles in achieving the city's net zero emissions target by 2030. Additionally, Uber is providing free charging for the new electric vehicles, further incentivizing the switch from petrol or diesel cars. The ride-hailing app company is also offering cash incentives to encourage the transition.
