Uber launches electric fleet of Teslas in Madrid

In its battles with local government, Uber is happy to burnish its green credentials when it thinks doing so will help it curry favor. In Madrid, where the taxi service was banned until March this year for its use of unlicensed drivers, Uber recently introduced a fleet of electric Teslas (the Model S) for its licensed drivers. According to Reuters, Uber’s Carles Lloret said the company hopes using these cars will improve its image in the city, which has long struggled with car pollution.Ov
