New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday that the city is mandating Uber (UBER) and Lyft (LYFT) to go completely electric by 2030, The Verge’s Andrew J. Hawkins reports. "We are excited to partner with New York City on our journey," Paul Augustine, Lyft’s director of sustainability, said. "New York’s commitment will accelerate an equitable city-wide transition to electric, and we’re eager to collaborate with the TLC on an ambitious plan for a rideshare clean mile standard." "We applaud the Mayor’s ambition for reducing emissions, an important goal we share," Josh Gold, senior director of policy at Uber, said. "Uber has been making real progress to become the first zero-emissions mobility platform in North America, and there’s much more to do." Reference Link
