In 2023 , we added EV charging locations to the driver app to make it a bit more comfortable for them and to eliminate some of the nervousness in switching to an EV . We ’ ve done a good job with partners to decrease the cost of charging to then decrease the overall cost of electric vehicles for our partners and drivers . This again is a step we ’ ve made alongside our commitments to green pricing to make sure that that is always going to be an easy choice for riders . London is Uber ’ s global leader for EVs with 25 % of all of Uber ’ s miles in London electric today . We ’ ll continue to see progress there , but I think that indicates that our work in this area is well received by riders and drivers . Uber drivers in London are going electric eight times faster than the general public . Seeing that acceleration from drivers is a really good indicator and leads to an acceleration on the rider ’ s side as well .
