Uber deal could add 100,000 ridehailing EVs to roads

This feels like a gigantic deal… not in numbers, but in impact.

Uber is teaming up with BYD to bring 100,000 of the Chinese automaker’s electric vehicles to the ridesharing app. The multiyear partnership will roll out in Europe and Latin America first, giving drivers “best-in-class pricing and financing” for BYD vehicles used with Uber.

That blending of Chinese tech and manufacturing prowess with US branding… very potent.
