Uber UBER.N and Carrefour CARR.PA are teaming up to give the ride-hailing company’s drivers access to the French supermarket chain’s electric vehicle charging stations, the companies jointly announced Tuesday.
Uber is investing 300,000 euros ($323,400) to allow its VTC (tourist vehicle with driver) drivers using EVs to charge their cars at Carrefour Énergies stations in France, the companies said in a statement.
VTC drivers using the Uber application will also have access to preferential rates on the Carrefour charging network from January 1, they added.
