NYC lifts cap on for-hire cars — provided they're electric
Eric Adams’ jolt to Uber, Lyft that will flip their NYC car fleets to electric by 2030The Big Apple has lifted the cap on the number of cars ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft can have on the city’s roads — but there’s one catch, the vehicles must be electric.
“Anyone with an electric vehicle can put in an application to be a ride share driver, put even more New Yorkers on the road to opportunity, jobs, employment, economic possibilities but doing it in a clean way,” said Mayor Eric Adams, at a pre-rollout event earlier this week. Officials says that allows any driver who purchases a car this year to get the average seven-year life out of a fleet car purchased this year before requiring its replacement.Ridehailing companies had already promised to switch their fleets over before the city first announced in January that it would roll out the regulations.The city’s yellow cab drivers are already required to select from a list of approved car models.
