Thanks to new app-based driving services available at the push of a button, getting from point A to point B is easier than ever. The arrival of services like Uber and Lyft mean you can set up a pickup and drop off to and from almost anywhere. It also helps everyday drivers use their own cars to make a profit while also minimizing travel costs for passengers. To make these services even better, Uber recently joined with Nissan to provide a more environmentally friendly trip through the use of the Nissan Leaf.

 

Electric cars are a great way to lower your carbon footprint and save on gas, making them the perfect vehicle for any driving servicer. The new program will allow top Uber drivers to lease a Nissan Leaf at the minimal rates instead of driving their own car. The first test of this program will take place in the UK, where emission rates are becoming stricter to help solve pollution problems in various cities. Over a three-month period, The Energy Savings Trust will track many of these Nissan Leafs for driving patterns, user experience and the cost effectiveness of an electric car. UK Uber manager Jo Bertram commented, “People already associate Uber with hybrid cars, but we want to go a big step further with fully electric cars.”

 

It’s not a mystery why the Nissan Leaf is the perfectly suited vehicle for this project; the car was a trailblazer in affordable and efficient electric car manufacturing. The Nissan Leaf was one of the first electric cars available, and since its launch in 2011 Nissan has been steadily improving the Leaf with newer technology. Most importantly, the Leaf has the highest range of any electric car for the 2016 model year, which will help drivers manage any long distance destinations for Uber. To see how innovative new technology has made the Nissan Leaf the best electric car, come test drive one for yourself at Cardinale Nissan. We want to be your dealership!
