Uber wants to make electric cars more accessible in Australia

AutoExec Summary
Uber has launched a pilot program in partnership with Car Empire to offer second-hand Nissan Leafs imported from Japan to its drivers in Brisbane and Gold Coast. The program allows drivers to purchase or finance a used EV for as little as $124 per week, inclusive of a three-year warranty and roadside assistance. This initiative aims to lower the costs for drivers to transition to electric vehicles and accelerate adoption across the platform. Car Empire imports quality used EVs from Japan, providing a broader selection for consumers and contributing to reducing emissions in Australia. Uber also has a global partnership with Chinese EV manufacturer BYD to add 100,000 BYD models to its fleet.
