Washington: Uber is reportedly using a fleet of electric cars as part of a new test program in Chicago, a report said.
The taxi-hailing service recently partnered with Chinese carmaker BYD to let Uber drivers rent or lease the company's electric e6 wagon , reported The Verge.
The vehicle, which can get up to 186 miles per charge, is already used in some taxi fleets around the world.
As of now, Uber has been running a pilot program with the electric cars for a few weeks in Chicago and 25 drivers are already driving the vehicle on the road.
The program, aimed at low-cost Uber X drivers, offers traditional leases as well as a 200 dollar-per-week rental that lets drivers use the vehicle during their Uber shifts.
An Uber spokesperson said that the program could be expanded to other cities in the future.
