Cover Story: California mandates that ridehailing companies transition to zero-emission vehicles by 2030. However, high costs of acquiring and operating electric vehicles (EVs) present challenges for many ridehailing drivers during this shift. This study evaluates the net earnings of ridehailing drivers under different EV acquisition models and EV-favoring policies. By analyzing the after-expense ridehailing income and the time for EVs to achieve cost parity with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, our findings indicate that financing EVs is more viable for long-term ridehailing drivers, while EV rentals are cost effective for short-term, high-mileage drivers. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis shows that EV charging discounts and vehicle resale values can significantly reduce the time required for EVs to reach cost parity with ICE vehicles.
