Can you request an electric car on Lyft or Uber?
I love the smooth, quiet ride of an electric car. If I’m calling a Lyft or Uber, is it possible to request an electric car in the same way that I could request other tiers of vehicles?

Yes, both Uber and Lyft have options for passengers to request an
electric or hybrid car
for their next ride, although the feature may not yet be available in your city.According to the Uber website, Uber riders have the option to select a hybrid or electric vehicle by choosing
Uber Green
for their ride. Currently, Uber Green is only available in certain cities between the hours of 6am to 9pm. For Lyft, the process is very similar. Riders in Seattle and Portland—two cities with a high demand for and population of electric drivers—riders are able to choose
Green Mode
for their next ride to be in a hybrid or electric car. If you’re thinking about buying an electric car yourself, the
