COVID response. Pull back on ride share regulations.

Where: California

What: California Air Resources Board had proposed that ride share move to 80% of EV vehicles by 2030

Why the change of course to lower the 80%? Acknowledging the COVID effect on ride share, the required EV levels for ride share were lowered to 60%

How does an EV requirement for ride share help clean air? Data shows that ride share has higher emissions than the driving it replaces because of wait times

Have ride share companies taken on EV themselves? Yes, Lyft has called for all EVs by 2030
