Electrifying vehicles in ride-hailing services, such as Uber and Lyft, is critical to accelerating the EV transition and provides key catalytic opportunities: lowering EV operational cost, creating a profitable investment opportunity for building fast-charging infrastructure, and equitably expanding EV charging capacity for all.
To electrify such services at scale, key industry stakeholders must collaborate. Analysing 100 million miles of actual data from electric and gasoline ride-hailing vehicles, this report offers actionable recommendations for stakeholders.
The analyses are based on deidentified data from ride-hailing vehicles on the former Maven Gig platform, a subsidiary of GM that offered short-term rentals of GM vehicles to drivers operating for ridehailing companies.
