        Does this mean workmen that use electric tools will be able to do the same to buy battery tools. #Uber

        Battery powered tools are still electric. You can add whatever surcharge you want as long as someone is willing to pay it

        Well done brains, my point was more that the car is the tool of their trade and the passenger shouldn't have to pay for an upgrade.

        Of course you can charge whatever you want but that doesn't mean people will be willing to pay and use your services. If you're not happy with the charge don't use Uber. I don't surcharge or not
