Uber drivers in France who own electric or hybrid vehicles will receive a TotalEnergies card that provides access to charging points located at service stations and charging networks of the oil company.
TotalEnergies and Uber also plan to collaborate based on drivers’ routes and trips to determine the best locations for future electric vehicle charging centers and stations. The partnership between the two companies will initially focus on French territory, where TotalEnergies is headquartered; however, there is a possibility to extend the partnership with Uber to other European countries.

Cars With Combustion Engines Will Be Banned In Europe
The ban on polluting cars, such as gasoline and diesel, in Europe is getting closer; however, the banning of combustion engines may occur covertly, through very strict emission rules, making manufacturing unfeasible.
As a result, some companies are seeking ways to transform conventional cars into electric vehicles by replacing the entire system, such as Swindon, which created a universal motor that has 110 horsepower, and London Electric Cars, which can transform classic models, such as the Mini Cooper, into electric cars.
