SolarTaxi

SolarTaxi's core capabilities revolve around its comprehensive electric vehicle ecosystem, which includes the design, assembly, sales, and operation of EVs. They offer a range of electric vehicles, including cars, bikes, and buses, tailored for various needs from individual ownership to large-scale fleet operations. This integrated approach ensures that customers have access to not just vehicles, but also the necessary infrastructure for charging, maintenance, and operational support. Their local assembly plant in Tema underlines a commitment to localized production and expertise, providing a robust supply chain within Ghana.

SolarTaxi primarily caters to a diverse range of users in Ghana, addressing their specific pain points related to traditional petrol-powered transportation. Individual consumers benefit from significantly lower running costs and reduced carbon emissions for daily commuting. Ride-hail drivers and last-mile delivery companies, including large platforms and small businesses, find solutions for high fuel volatility and operational expenses through EV fleets. Additionally, larger enterprises seeking to electrify their logistics and workforce management can leverage SolarTaxi’s integrated platforms and services, ensuring efficient and sustainable operations while contributing to environmental goals.

SolarTaxi operates a suite of specialized platforms designed to support every aspect of the EV journey. TruztEV serves as an AI-powered marketplace for buying or leasing electric cars, bikes, and buses, offering transparent all-in GHS pricing and flexible financing. EVCare Pro provides online booking, fault reporting, and tracking for maintenance and repairs, ensuring efficient servicing of EVs across their four nationwide service centers. WoteEV focuses on courier and fleet operations, enabling businesses to send packages, lease electric bikes, and manage their electric delivery fleets. Lastly, DuciaHR is an HR platform initially built to manage SolarTaxi's own growing workforce, now available to partner organizations for performance management and workforce optimization within the EV sector and beyond.

SolarTaxi is deeply committed to local impact and sustainability within Ghana, positioning itself as a leader in the country's electric future. The company emphasizes local assembly in Ghana, creating jobs and fostering local expertise in advanced manufacturing and EV technology. Their operations actively contribute to cleaner air by removing an average of 2.4 tonnes of CO₂ per EV per year compared to petrol equivalents, with a cumulative impact of 1,200 tonnes of CO₂ avoided. Furthermore, by offering vehicles with significantly lower running costs, SolarTaxi provides economic relief to Ghanaians, promoting a financially viable and environmentally responsible transition to electric mobility.

SolarTaxi highlights the compelling economic advantages of switching to electric vehicles in Ghana. EV owners can expect to spend up to 60% less per kilometer on running costs compared to petrol vehicles, based on current electricity tariffs versus pump prices. This significant saving extends to maintenance, as EVs have dramatically fewer moving parts than internal combustion engines, leading to lower annual service costs. The company's analysis shows that the initial higher purchase price of an EV can be recovered in under 18 months for an average driver, resulting in projected savings of GHS 160,000–180,000 over five years, making the financial case for EV adoption increasingly strong in Ghana.

SolarTaxi ensures comprehensive service and support for its electric vehicles through a robust nationwide network. With four dedicated service centers located in Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi, and Tamale, customers have convenient access to expert maintenance and repair services. The EVCare Pro platform streamlines the service experience, allowing for online booking, fault reporting, and real-time tracking of repairs. This localized infrastructure means that EV owners do not face long waits for spare parts or specialized technicians, addressing a common concern for new technology adoption and ensuring reliable, worry-free operation of their electric vehicles.
