Uber Technologies Inc. and Wallbox NV are expanding nationwide a partnership that gives Uber drivers access to electric-charging equipment at a discount.

The agreement follows a pilot program that began in California's Bay Area four months ago. A staged expansion of the program aims to reach nationwide coverage by April.

"Helping drivers go electric is a crucial part of our plan to get to zero-emissions by 2030 in the U.S.," Uber executive Andrew Macdonald said.

Wallbox shares climbed 7.6% in pre-market activity.
