Abstract

Rideshare drivers using electric vehicles (EVs) exhibit distinct behavioral and economic patterns compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) drivers. EV drivers take fewer but longer trips, operate more often during off-peak hours, and earn more on average—largely due to their overrepresentation in premium services. Charging access and service mix, rather than vehicle type alone, emerge as the key drivers of these differences.
