Cleaner kilometres for one city, then the rest.
We launched electric because Georgetown’s air deserves it — and because the math works.
The numbers, honestly.
Every claim on this page is backed by a documented calculation. Nothing is modelled more optimistically than we’re willing to defend in public.
Compared to the fleet we’re replacing
Per-km emissions benchmarked against the weighted average of vehicles currently providing informal ride services in Georgetown, not against the global car fleet.
Guyana’s grid intensity, today
Upstream emissions from electricity generation are counted at the national grid intensity published by the Guyana Power & Light, not a “zero” assumption.
Reviewed by UQAM
Our ESG methodology has been reviewed and co-authored with the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) — an independent academic partner — and will be published in full in our first annual transparency report.
A legacy fleet is a trap.
Most ride networks electrify slowly — they’re dragging a diesel balance sheet. We don’t have one. Starting clean means lower operating cost, no transition pain, measurable impact from week one.
- Zero tailpipe emissionsEvery GuyWay trip at launch is a zero-tailpipe trip.
- Energy, not fuelElectricity costs ~⅓ of fuel per km — that savings flows to the driver.
- Fewer parts, fewer breakdownsEV drivetrains have a fraction of the maintenance points.
Publish the numbers. Let people check.

Where the electrons come from.
An EV is only as clean as the grid behind it. Here’s how we’re thinking about charging — honestly, and with the trade-offs visible.
Private depot charging
Vehicles charge overnight at our Cummings Lodge depot, on the Guyana Power & Light grid. Hours chosen to sit outside peak demand.
Solar-backed depot
Pilot on-site solar at the depot, with grid top-up. Target: offset a meaningful share of daily charging load with local generation.
Driver home charging
For approved drivers, subsidised home charger installs. Clean energy closer to where drivers live — less dead-head to the depot.
Where we’re going.
Sustainability questions, answered.
The methodology behind GuyWay's emissions numbers — in plain language. More context on our About page and for corporates on Business.
Per-trip tailpipe emissions are zero because the fleet is 100% electric. Well-to-wheel emissions are calculated using Guyana's published grid-mix factor and vehicle-specific energy use per kilometre (kWh/km). The full methodology is on this page.
The launch fleet is sourced through national and international EV distributors and financed in partnership with local Guyanese financial institutions.
Charging partners across Georgetown, East Bank Demerara (EBD), and East Coast Demerara (ECD). Additional charging points are added as the fleet scales.
Guyana's electricity mix is transitioning toward cleaner sources, including the Gas-to-Energy project and hydro contributions. GuyWay publishes the grid emissions factor used in its calculations and updates it annually as the national grid decarbonises.
Yes. GuyWay commits to an annual transparency report starting the first full year of operation, covering emissions avoided, charging energy delivered, and fleet composition. Our Safety page has the matching commitment on incident reporting.
Lower cost per kilometre for drivers (electric energy is roughly one third the cost of fuel), cleaner air in Georgetown, quieter streets, and alignment with Guyana's low-carbon development strategy. Electric-first from day one avoids the expensive retrofit of a legacy diesel fleet.
Cleaner rides.
