You're talking about a different market - the advertised mpg of the Prius, et al, might seem high in the US, but here in Europe / the UK, it is barely competitive with regular ICE cars.
There's also the various government incentives to run a HEV / PHEV.
FYI, here in tke UK, almost all Uber cars are older diesel saloons / estate cars, and mostly just a normal taxi with an extra "Uber" sticker. Talking of BS assertions, I doubt that many Uber drivers outside Silicon Valley (or maybe, to be generous, prosperous American cities) are using HEVs / PHEVs.
