Every Little (Self?) Helps?

The ride-hailing firm Uber is reportedly set to pledge £5m to help provide electricity charging point infrastructure, by 2023, in some of the poorest parts of London (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/oct/19/uber-pledges-5m-toward-electric-vehicle-charging-points-in-london). They admit that this will be a tiny fraction of the money required to make the Capital more electric car-friendly. They note, however, that many of their drivers come from the poorer areas of the city, like Newham and Tower Hamlets. Those areas currently have very few charging points for electric vehicles (although Uber intends to encourage the use of such cars). Uber don't recruit many drivers from Kensington and Westminster, even though they are relately well provisioned. Any city that hopes to attempt to reduce both air pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases, needs an extensive network of charging points to encourage the transition to electric vehicles.
