Join researchers from the University of California, Davis, or UC Davis, for a webinar exploring the challenges that ride-hailing drivers face with zero-emission vehicle use in California.

The UC Davis research project was designed to give insight on how to get more TNC drivers into electric vehicles. Learn More 

Time: 10 -11 a.m. (Pacific Time)
Location: Zoom Webinar - Register

Companies that provide ride-hailing services through an online platform in California are required to comply with the Clean Miles Standard that has a target of 90% electric ride-hailing miles by 2030. These services are operated by Transportation Network Companies, or TNCs, such as Uber and Lyft.

The webinar will explore the research findings on opportunities and challenges ride-hailing drivers face with electric vehicles, and how many TNC drivers use this vehicle technology.  
The research team will share insights on:

• Current use of electric vehicles by TNC drivers, and how factors such as income, weekly hours of TNC driving, and access to home charging influence these trends
• Key barriers to purchasing and driving electric vehicles that TNC drivers face
• Policy recommendations to help TNC drivers through better education, incentives, and fueling infrastructure
