Mobility fintech Moove is to help Uber scale up its EV fleet in London to 10,000 vehicles by the end of 2025.

Moove aims to be the largest EV partner on Uber’s platform in London with plans to scale to up to 10,000 vehicles by the end of 2025

The African-born company, which is Uber’s largest vehicle supply partner in EMEA, is launching into London as part of its global expansion and will provide access to financing with no upfront costs or deposits.

The deal will offer an improved driver experience whilst accelerating the electrification of mobility across the capital. Uber already has over 6,000 EVs on its platform in London – the most of any Uber city – and Moove’s London launch will enable Uber to progress towards its goal of becoming an all-electric platform in the capital by 2025

As part of the launch, Moove has also rolled out Moove Charge, billed as the first end-to-end and complete EV charging network app solution specifically for ride-hailing drivers providing access to one of the largest roaming networks in the city

The company is now bringing its impact-led model to the UK, its first expansion into Europe and on the heels of its recent India launch, as part of its mission to close the finance gap for mobility gig workers globally.

Moove’s approach to vehicle financing will provide customers in London with access to brand new, zero-emission vehicles with an easy sign-up process as well as no credit checks, upfront costs, or deposit needed. Value-added services include regular maintenance, MOT and vehicle insurance. The weekly fee also covers health insurance and Moove customers have access to a dedicated customer success team.

In addition, Moove customers driving with Uber can reduce their weekly payments by using funds raised through Uber’s Clean Air Plan to help them meet the cost of switching to an EV.

Andrew Brem, general manager at Uber UK, said: “Our aim at Uber is to become a 100% electric platform in London by 2025 and we understand that drivers need access to financing if they want to make the transition to an electric vehicle. Moove’s model will help more Uber drivers switch to pure electric faster, to reduce their running costs and help clean up London’s air. With demand from riders higher than ever, our partnership with Moove will benefit drivers and riders alike.”
