Getting the EV bonus
To qualify for the EV Ride Challenge, you must be an approved driver in the state of California and have a qualifying EV added to your account by Dec 31, 2023.
Once your EV is added to your account, you can earn a $150 bonus by giving 50 rides with your EV in a week.
You’ll be eligible to earn the $150 bonus every week through Dec 29, 2024 or until you’ve reached the $8,100 maximum.
Eligible hours for earnings begin on Monday at 5 AM and end the following Monday at 4:59 AM. If you start your rental on a Tuesday-Friday, the ride count and bonus will be distributed depending on your active days.
Ride count and bonuses will reset every Monday at 5 AM.
Each week, every ride completed in California using a qualifying EV counts toward the 50 ride requirement. The $150 bonus will be available in your earnings one hour after you have completed 50 rides.
Note: the bonus can only be earned once per week. If you give more than 50 rides in a week, the extra rides don’t roll over into the following week.
Tracking your EV bonus
You’ll receive an email every week letting you know that a $150 EV bonus will be available to you during the following week.
As you make progress toward the 50 ride requirement, you’ll be able to track your bonus from the Driver app home screen.
To track your progress, tap ‘$150 EV Bonus’ on the home screen.
Getting the Express Drive EV Multi-Tier Bonus
If you’re eligible for the Express Drive Multi-Tier Bonus, you'll see the details when you open your Driver app. This promo is currently offered to California Express Drive renters only.
As you hit your ride goals, you can earn 3 different bonus tier amounts. If you complete rides for the 1st tier, you’ll see the bonus on your next weekly earnings summary. Complete the 2nd and 3rd tiers, and Lyft will add each tier bonus to your earnings. You can complete just one tier, two tiers, or all three tiers and still receive a bonus.
