Ghanaian electric vehicle (EV) company Solar Taxi has begun discussions with the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition to explore collaborations aimed at advancing the country’s clean energy agenda and expanding e-mobility solutions. During a recent meeting with Deputy Minister Richard Gyan-Mensah, Solar Taxi’s management expressed enthusiasm for partnering to support Ghana’s transition to renewable energy and a low-carbon transport system.
Founded in 2019, Solar Taxi started by assembling electric two-wheelers in 2021 and has since expanded to produce over 500 electric vehicles, including three- and four-wheeled models, and is now working on an electric bus program in collaboration with international partners. Chief Investment Officer Loving Asibey Koranteng highlighted the company’s mission to contribute to the e-mobility ecosystem in alignment with government initiatives.
Deputy Minister Gyan-Mensah welcomed the partnership, emphasizing the government’s commitment to a sustainable energy future and the critical role of the private sector in achieving clean energy goals. The Ministry plans to enhance EV charging infrastructure and promote electric buses through a five-year strategy, while also introducing smart metering systems for energy trading. Although the government will not provide direct funding, it aims to foster an enabling environment for private investment and innovation in the sector.
