Serving Aces for Uber drivers
Driving with Splend is about more than just the car.
At Splend, we understand that being a rideshare driver is about more than just hitting the road...
it’s about serving passengers with excellence, embracing innovation, and being part of a thriving community.
That’s why we’re dedicated to empowering drivers with education, support, and the tools they need to succeed, including opportunities to explore electric vehicles (EVs).
One standout example? Our collaboration with Uber and Kia during the 2025 Australian Open. 🎾 Together, we're giving 50 of Uber’s top drivers an unforgettable opportunity to test drive cutting-edge EVs, like the Kia EV5, for free, while boosting their earnings during Australia’s biggest event of the year.

Empowering Drivers, On and Off the Road
The Australian Open Uber One/Kia EV program is more than just a driving opportunity—it's about fostering community, unlocking potential, and creating a fun and supportive experience.
Here’s how Splend made it happen:
Hitting the baseline with education: We started hosting an interactive session informing drivers about the program, the benefits of EVs, and how to make the most of the Kia EV5.
Onboarding like pros: Drivers received detailed training on the vehicles, EV charging, and program logistics to ensure a smooth start.
Full-time support: Throughout the event, Splend has been on hand to troubleshoot, answer questions, and connect drivers with one another—building camaraderie and confidence.
This wasn't just about introducing drivers to the benefits of EVs; it was about creating a community where drivers felt supported and empowered to deliver their best.
Meet the Kia EV5: A Winner for Rideshare Drivers
One of the star players of the Australian Open program has been the Kia EV5. With its eye-catching design, spacious interior, and cutting-edge electric technology, this SUV isn’t just a car—it’s the future of sustainable rideshare.
During the program, drivers not only experienced the thrill of EVs but also discovered how they can boost their earnings with a crowd-pleasing drive while contributing to a greener future.
Splend offers the EV5 Air Long Range on our all-inclusive Flexi-Own plans.
