China’s BYD found a new partner to cut EV costs and fuel adoption. As part of a massive new multi-year alliance, BYD is set to launch 100,000 EVs on Uber’s platform globally.
The EVs will launch in key global markets, starting with Europe and Latin America. The Middle East, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand will follow.
BYD’s EVs will be offered with “best-in-class pricing and financing” as the partnership aims to make going electric more affordable for Uber drivers. As a result, the alliance is expected to drive EV adoption on Uber’s platform.
