Uber is a global technology company known for its ride-sharing and food delivery platform. While not a traditional infrastructure investor, its operations heavily rely on digital and transport infrastructure, and it actively influences the development of EV charging infrastructure through partnerships and incentives to support its electrification goals.

Mountain View-based robotics company Nuro develops and operates autonomous electric vehicles for last-mile delivery services. With a workforce of over 1,000 employees, Nuro partners with major retailers and food service providers to deploy its self-driving fleet in select U.S. cities.
