Frequently Asked Questions
The Clean Air Plan was designed to help Uber drivers switch to an electric PCO car easier. Until March 2022, Uber drivers could build their EV Assistance simply by making trips in London – and then use this money to reduce the weekly payments of an EV. Drivers can no longer increase their EV Assistance by themselves now, but anyone who still has it can use it to lower their costs of upgrading to an EV.
Any Uber driver with unused EV Assistance can lower the weekly cost of renting or buying an electric car from a small number of approved Uber partners, such as Otto Car. If you're eligible, Uber will have topped up your EV Assistance to £5,000 in May 2024 if your pot was lower than this amount at the launch of the Uber PowerUp initiative.
The easiest way to show your savings is with our simple tool on this page (Rent 2 Buy + models). Select an electric PCO car and the size of your EV Assistance to instantly see your weekly saving. Did you know? Eligible Uber drivers can make huge savings with Uber’s new PowerUp Package 2024. See above for more details.
Eligible Uber drivers purchasing an electric PCO car can use the whole amount of the accumulated EV Assistance to reduce the weekly payments on their Rent 2 Buy + contract. This is spread throughout the length of the whole contract so you'll be paying less each week. Please note, this cannot be used towards the initial down payment.
If renting an EV, drivers can claim £300 of EV Assistance towards a 4-week PCO Car Hire contract. This equals a £75 per week discount (as shown on our PCO Car Hire vehicle pages). Please be aware that once your EV Assistance runs out, you’ll have to adapt to paying your weekly payments to Otto Car without the EV Assistance.
Uber partner drivers with EV Assistance have until 31 March 2025 to use it to switch to an EV. Uber is aiming to make sure every Uber car in London is fully electric by 2025. Please note, Uber doesn’t have any confirmed plans to put restrictions on petrol, diesel and hybrid cars on the platform.
Those who drive an EV get access to a special tier called Uber Green, which is 10% higher than UberX fares. They can also get £750 charging credits with bp pulse (limited offer from the Uber PowerUp initiative), keep the £1.50 Central London fee, Uber Pro bonus points for EV trips + a whole load more benefits
