SolarTaxi, an electric mobility in Ghana, has launched a ride-hailing mobile app dedicated to electric cars to offer customers a green, cleaner option for their convenience and value for money at 80% cheaper.
The SolarTaxi App was launched last week and will start operations in Accra and focuses on the East Legon and Airport areas within a 10-kilometer radius.
Unlike other ride-hailing apps that introduce increased prices during peak times, SolarTaxi provides a standard charge every time of the day even during peak times.
The head of SolarTaxi Ride, Gilbert Sefa Nuwordu, commenting on the new initiative said, “as a company, we seek to offer new and innovative ways of transport. Our main aim is to offer e-mobility services in a clean and environmentally friendly manner. SolarTaxi App is the new offering that will seek to offer cheap and affordable transportation to residents of East Legon and Airport within a 10km radius. All the vehicles will be electric and we will offer 80% cheaper rates than what’s already on the market. We are looking to onboard 100 electric cars by the close of the year translating to 100 jobs for the youth.”
Ghana’s Solar Taxi was launched by Kumasi Hive in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation in September 2018. The initiative aims to alleviate poverty, create employment and protect the environment.
The SolarTaxi app is now available on Google Playstore and iOS Store.
