California May Require Ridesharing App Companies To Go Electric

2020-07-26 5 Dailymotion

California’s Air Resources Board wants to cap emissions from vehicles being used for companies like Uber and Lyft.<br />These rideshare app businesses have an infamously tumultuous history with labor regulators in their home state.<br />However, Gizmodo Earther reports they seem far more receptive to going green than they are to sufficiently compensating their workforce.<br />The proposal would mandate that 60% percent of miles traveled by Uber and Lyft vehicles be in electric vehicles by 2030.<br />To hit that target, it's estimated that roughly one-third of rideshare vehicles would need to be electric.<br />Lyft welcomes the stricter regulations, but Uber hasn’t yet made any similar commitments regarding electric vehicles.
