Uber has pledged that vehicles on its ride-hailing platform will be zero-emission by 2030 in the United States, Canada and Europe, and across the globe  by 2040. The company has 5 million drivers worldwide. It vowed to contribute $800 million through 2025 to help drivers switch to battery-powered vehicles, including discounts for vehicles bought or leased from its partner automakers, which currently include General Motors and the Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi. Uber competitor Lyft has already made a similar commitment to have 100% EVs on its platform by 2030.

Coltura has published a law review article in the Michigan Journal of Environmental and Administrative Law identifying for the first time a legal path for all states to mandate that all new vehicles be electric. (It was previously thought that only California had legal authority to mandate EVs.) Coltura’s research discloses that state EV mandates can withstand federal preemption challenges if the reasons for enacting them are within the state’s authority. Such reasons include electric grid benefits, increased jobs and economic development, reduced storm water pollution from gasoline drips and leaks at gas stations, savings to consumers on vehicle maintenance, and downward pressure on electricity rates. States should avoid justifying electrification mandates on grounds within the federally-controlled areas of emissions reduction and fuel economy.
