Uber's EV transition: Are the incentives reaching the drivers they're supposed to help?

15s threshold

Companies often promote electrification as a climate commitment. But the transition also depends on whether drivers can realistically afford EVs and access the incentives offered to them.

Uber advertises a $4,000 Go Electric incentive for eligible drivers. I applied and was denied. After more than five contacts with support, my cases were closed without a clear explanation.

I'm not claiming that one denied application proves greenwashing. But it raises a legitimate question: how transparent and accessible are these programs in practice?

If a company wants drivers to switch to electric vehicles, shouldn't eligibility decisions be clear, consistent, and open to meaningful review?

Have other drivers experienced similar problems with EV incentives?
