Let's not mince words: And who is going to work for them then? If the only people who can afford an electric vehicle is anyone in or above the upper middle class that have that kind of disposable income, who's going to drive around for pennies to ferry the kind of losers that don't want a car in the first place?
This will be reversed, or Uber will be out of business.
They must be banking on graphene battery tech advances, swappable/modular batteries or something else like that. Otherwise, yeah, charge time is going to be a damn near show-stopper.
You make a good point for Uber, but it could work in theory for an established business by utilising a swap-over system for vehicles. Just drop into the depot and swap vehicles.
Regardless, it's still a MASSIVE increase to operation costs, and you need larger depots to store all those vehicles. As per usual, leftist politics love to push out small and independent business.
It was supposed to be no one was going to work for them. Well not drive anyways. They were going to replace the drivers with AI. Wonder how that's going.

Think of how long it takes to charge an electric car. You can't have a taxi company with electric (battery) cars. Period. End of story.

Banking on technology that does not exist at scale is the absurdism of this age.
Fusion is just around the corner, guys!

you now require multiple cars just to make the same amount of fares, the roi just isn't there
Agreed. Especially in a rising interest rate environment. The age of some of this absurdity may be ending with financial reality looming.
