What is the Uber Clean Air Plan?

The Uber Clean Air Plan is a scheme designed to provide eligible drivers with assistance to reduce the cost of upgrading to an Electric Vehicle (EV). For a limited time, Uber has introduced their “PowerUp Package” whereby eligible non-electric drivers within London may qualify for a funding allocation of £5,000 in EV Assistance under the Uber Clean Air Plan. There are multiple ways to claim Uber’s EV Assistance with Splend. You can use the funds to reduce the weekly cost of our All-inclusive Flexi Own plans for a new or used vehicle, you can use the EV Assistance to reduce the cost of trying out the benefits of EVs through renting on our Flexi plans, or you could buy one of our quality Used PCO vehicles and use your whole EV Assistance amount upfront to reduce the cost of purchasing your EV outright!

Own your EV with the best deal on the market

Our Flexi own plans are the only all-inclusive PCO vehicle plans on the market. Our table below shows the difference in cost based on using £5,000 Uber EV Assistance (CAP) funds to reduce your all-inclusive weekly payment for the life of your term. Another option is to claim the maximum allowed amount of £75 per week directly from Uber until your EV Assistance runs out, at which time your payments would revert to the original weekly rate. The choice is yours. No matter which option you choose, our weekly price means no nasty surprises, with everything you need as a PCO driver included.

Uber Clean Air Plan EV Assistance FAQs

The Uber Clean Air Plan EV Assistance and eligibility explained

What is the Uber Clean Air Plan?

Uber Clean Air Plan is a scheme designed to:

Reduce the cost of upgrading to an EV for drivers
Boost driver earnings
Support the Mayor's vision of a cleaner, healthier London.

How does the £5,000 EV assistance offer work for Uber drivers?

As of 21 May, 2024 and For a limited duration, eligible non-electric vehicle drivers within London may qualify for a funding allocation of £5,000 in EV Assistance from the PowerUp Package aimed at facilitating their transition to an electric vehicle under the Uber Clean Air Plan (CAP).
Drivers who have not previously accumulated an EV Assistance Amount under the Uber Clean Air Plan may be eligible for a £5,000 subsidy towards the purchase of an electric vehicle.
For drivers who accumulated less than £5,000 in EV assistance through Uber's Clean Air Plan, Uber will augment the deficit up to £5,000, provided the driver has not previously received any EV Assistance.
As an approved Uber Clean Air Plan vendor, all EVs available through Splend are eligible. Eligible drivers simply select the EV that’s right for them before November 30, 2024 and the CAP amount will be applied to reduce the cost.

Who is eligible for the £5,000 EV assistance?

Drivers eligible for the £5,000 in EV Assistance must meet the following criteria:

The driver must have transitioned to an electric vehicle, with the vehicle added to their Uber account by 30 November 2024.
Non-EV driver: Defined as drivers who have completed less than 10 EV trips in the 6 months preceding the launch date of 21 May 2024.
The driver must have fulfilled rides for Uber on at least 150 separate occasions in the 8 week period immediately prior to the day on which the driver requests EV Assistance (the "Minimum Trips Condition").
The driver's original notional EV Assistance amount must be less that £4,900 at the point of requesting the limited duration £5,000 EV Assistance Amount.

Drivers who have previously used any portion of the Clean Air Fund to switch to an electric vehicle and subsequently reverted to a non-electric vehicle will not meet the eligibility criteria for the limited duration £5,000 EV Assistance Amount.

How can drivers use their CAP funds with Splend?

Drivers can utilise their CAP funds in a number of ways through Splend. Our Flexi Own (rent to buy) or Flexi (rental) options can both be used, and we also provide the option to buy a used car outright and use your CAP funds. Here are the options:

Purchase a new EV through Flexi Own (our Rent-To-Buy plan) - Option 1: CAP balance applied over the whole vehicle contract (4 or 5 years) and automatically discounted from each weekly payment through Splend.
Purchase a new EV through Flexi Own (our Rent-To-Buy plan) – Option 2: Claim up to £75 per week off the cost of your plan directly through Uber to reduce the price of your weekly payments for as long as your CAP lasts (for £5,000 this will be just over 66 weeks). At the end of this period your weekly payments will revert to the original price.
Purchase a used EV through Flexi Own: CAP balance applied over the whole vehicle contract (term length is determined by the age of the car) and discounted from each weekly payment.
Purchase a used PCO vehicle outright: CAP balance applies to deposit contribution, used upfront and in full to reduce the cost of the car.
Flexi Plan (Rental): Rental cost can be reduced by £75 per week until CAP balance is used up.

Is there an expiration date for redeeming the £5,000 EV assistance?

If you do not switch to an EV before 30th November 2024 your EV assistance will return to the amount you originally accumulated. If you have unused EV Assistance and have not switched to an EV by 31 March 2025, these funds will be reallocated and made available to any London drivers wanting to make the switch to an EV. If you enter into a purchase agreement on or before November 30th, the amount of EV assistance specified in that contract will be secured. If you enter a rental agreement on or before November 30th, your top up sum will be locked in, meaning you will not be restored to your previous EV Assistance amount after November 30th.

Will drivers receive a top-up if they previously claimed some of their CAP?

If drivers claimed their Uber Clean Air Plan via rental claims, they will be eligible for a top-up to £5,000, minus the amount they already claimed (provided they accumulated under £5,000 total and have not been in an EV in the last 6 months). If drivers claimed their full amount of CAP through Rent-To-Buy or ownership, they will not be eligible for a top-up.

What additional assistance is available for drivers to switch to EV?

An additional benefit being offered by Uber is the opportunity to reduce the cost of charging your EV through their bp pulse offer. The first 8,000 active drivers to subscribe to bp pulse are eligible for up to £750 of charging credits. New subscribers automatically become eligible when the subscription is active, and Uber status is validated. Monthly charging credits start when the subscription begins, even before starting the EV adventure.

How do EVs boost driver earnings with Uber?

EVs allow you to earn 10% more with Uber Green than with Uber X.
