🌍✨ We are thrilled to congratulate UpLink Top Innovator itselectric on securing $6.5M to expand operations and accelerate curbside EV charging across seven US cities in 2024! This significant funding will enable the deployment of affordable and accessible EV infrastructure in some of the densest urban areas, directly supporting Uber’s mission to help rideshare drivers go electric. 🚗🔌 itselectric’s innovative chargers are installed and maintained at no cost to cities, utilities, or property owners, playing a crucial role in building the necessary infrastructure to replace gas cars with EVs. Additionally, property owners earn passive income, aligning climate action with urban living to create cleaner, greener cities. 🌿🔋 #EVCharging #ClimateAction #GoElectric #DriveElectric #Innovation #SustainableCities #UrbanDevelopment #CleanEnergy Deloitte Salesforce Citi San Francisco Chamber of Commerce Yes SF Tiya Gordon
