GuyWay has officially launched an electric vehicle transportation service offering rides across Georgetown and airport transfers, with a fleet of 52 Tesla vehicles and more than 100 additional vehicles expected.
According to a post on Prime Minister Mark Phillips’ Facebook page, the company was founded in 2025 by Peter Lorenzo, Michel Rheaume and Rico Ding.
Speaking at the launch, Phillips welcomed the investment and said the government’s development programme was creating opportunities for businesses to meet the country’s changing transportation needs.
“Guyanese must be able to see the benefits through employment and services that make daily life easier,” he said.
Phillips pointed to government investment in public charging infrastructure, saying the network was expected to expand to 24 stations by the end of 2026. He also cited incentives for electric transportation, including zero duties and taxes on electric vehicles and a 50 per cent annual write-down allowance for businesses investing in the sector.
With more than 900 electric vehicles already on Guyana’s roads, Phillips said further charging infrastructure, local technical expertise and renewable energy solutions were needed to support the sector’s growth.
He urged GuyWay to provide reliable customer service, invest in developing local skills and explore opportunities in tourism, where dependable transportation could improve visitors’ experiences.
