The ride-share giant is partnering with local distributor EVDirect on an emissions-free option for businesses.

Uber is importing 10,000 electric vehicles from China that it intends to issue to drivers under a rent-to-buy scheme as it accelerates its green ride-share plans.

Drivers can now rent BYD Atto 3 vehicles, which retail from $48,000, from EVDirect. Rent-to-own offers start at $269 a week, leading to outright ownership after four years. Uber Australia general manager Dom Taylor said the company would provide businesses with data on reduced pollution from using electric vehicles so that they could include it in emissions reporting and calculate the contribution to corporate climate targets.
