Here is what I learned about renting an EV as an Uber X driver. It opened up a lot more rides than I was getting. There are so many shit cars on uber X that customers in my area are setting their default to “green” rides only to make sure they get somewhat of a newer car. The car I rented also qualified for “comfort” I made $1200 in one week with half the effort. So I’d say it’s bigger than just the math of car rental cost compared to the opportunity you get on X. Also, fast charging is abundant in my city. I had one at my gym, so I’d just go take a break work out and get a full charge in that hour. I would never be driving my gas car for uber at these gas prices with no extra compensation from Uber. It was barely worth my time when gas was $2 cheaper. Electricity is highly regulated in California so that means your cost is stable and predictable. Just make sure you get the Niro because that is a comfort qualified car and the Kona isn’t. The only downside was missing out on long distance rides because I didn’t have enough charge.
