RELATED: Uber will pay you $1,000 to not drive for four weeks Uber’s statement didn’t mention the U.S., and understandably so. In May, the Biden administration decided to raise tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China to 102.5%. But it’s unclear how similar (albeit less extreme) tariffs in Europe — and signs of upcoming tariffs in Canada — will affect future deals. Uber wants all of its vehicles operating in cities across the U.S., Canada, and Europe to be zero-emission electric vehicles by 2030, but achieving that goal looks a daunting task…
