On May 20th, CARB will vote on the Clean Miles Standard, a first-of its kind regulation that would require ridehailing companies like Uber and Lyft to electrify their fleets by 2030. If approved, the Clean Miles Standard would cut pollution in cities across California by requiring that 90% of ride hailing miles traveled take place in electric vehicles by 2030, and that ridehailing companies cut their greenhouse gas emissions to zero grams per passenger mile on the same timeline.
This standard has the potential to be a win for the environment and for drivers. On the environment side, the rule reduces both greenhouse gases and air pollution. UCS analysis finds that ride-hailing trips are 69% more polluting than the trips they replace and a non-pooled Uber or Lyft ride is 47%

EVs account for nearly 8% of all light-duty vehicles sold in California. Over 145,000 EVs were sold in California in 2020 – with a majority of sales taking place in the latter half of the year. Through the first quarter, CVRP rebate applications have already exceeded levels seen in early 2020, with substantially higher participation by low- and moderate-income consumers. This growing interest has led to a quicker draw on available funds through CVRP than anticipated. Existing funding for both standard and increased rebates is projected to be fully reserved in the coming weeks.
