The program, known as UberGreen , gives customers the option to request an EV or hybrid electric vehicle. Drivers receive an additional fee for each completed Uber Green trip. Uber said Tuesday that it is integrating the program into its Uber Pass membership service and will give members a 10% discount on “green” trips, the same discount as on a standard ride. Of course, Uber Green's success depends on its ability to get drivers to make the switch. The company has set aside $ 800 million to allow its drivers to use electric vehicles by 2025. 

Now it is starting to roll out programs through partnerships with car manufacturers, providers of charging networks and EV rental and fleet companies to provide further incentives. Uber said Tuesday that drivers in Los Angeles can rent electric vehicles through a partnership with Avis. The program will be expanded nationally in 2021. Uber also partners with Ample. Starting this month, drivers in San Francisco will be able to rent a car with Ample's battery change technology, which allows them to replace electric vehicle batteries in minutes. The company has also expanded its partnership with EVgo to give drivers access to charging discounts at more than 800 US locations on its vehicle collection platform.
