Uber failed to pay special bonuses to some drivers who use electric cars in time in accordance with the electric vehicle promotion plan launched last year.

After receiving the media inquiryUber said the error was caused by a technical glitch and the company has begun to pay bonuses to drivers.Some transportation experts say that achieving the green strategic goal requires greater ambition, and the delay in bonus is a sign of a difficult start.

Uber spokesman Lois Van Der Laan said in an email that only a small number of electric car drivers were affected and that as "legitimate compensation", the company would pay them a reward of 110%. She declined to say how many drivers did not receive bonuses for electric cars, nor did she disclose the total amount of bonuses the company had paid.

Some media talked to eight drivers who did not receive the bonus in time. According to the payment documents, seven of them have now received bonuses, one of whom has received a bonus of more than $1000, and one has still indicated that he has not yet received the bonus.

Uber has made a commitment to fully electrify its North American and European fleet by 2030. In order to achieve this goalThe company announced last September that it would pay an extra $1 per order to drivers in the United States and Canada who use electric cars.. The scheme, known as the "zero emission incentive", means thousands of dollars in extra income a year for a full-time driver.
