Excited to launch 500 new EVs on Bolt! ⚡

Electric cars have lower operating costs than ICEs, making them ideal for ride-hailing. However, the high upfront costs are a barrier for many drivers.

We're now co-financing EVs across 10 cities in 2024 and scaling up next year.

This war isn't just about Ukraine but the rules-based world order and future security architecture of Europe. 1/12

1/ In 1944 Russian forces occupied Estonia and thousands of families had to flee overnight. They got help from many countries they went to.

It's time to give back.

Estonian startup founders are donating to support Ukraine. The amount has reached six figures.
