Overview
- Initial construction will focus on the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles and Dallas, with Uber intending to replicate the model across additional markets during 2026.
- Uber will install DC fast chargers at fleet depots and at strategic city sites, with funding covering development, hardware, grid connections and installation.
- Guaranteed‑use deals span EVgo in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston, Ionity and Hubber in London, Electra in Paris and Madrid, and Revel in New York.
- Uber says owning some charging sites improves efficiency, reduces operating costs and keeps vehicles available longer to support driverless service rollouts against rivals like Waymo.
- The company already runs robotaxi services in four U.S. cities as well as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh, and it aims to offer driverless rides in more than ten markets in 2026.
