With over 280 electric vehicles now on the local roadways, the Government of Guyana (GoG) has introduced several policies and development initiatives to promote low-carbon transportation and foster the transformation of the country’s electric mobility landscape.
For fiscal support, electric vehicles, regardless of the power rating, attract zero rates of duty and taxes. Additionally, the write-down allowance applicable to all electric vehicles has been increased to 50 percent annually, to encourage businesses to invest in eco-friendly cars. There are six publicly accessible EV charging stations located at Amazonia Mall, Providence, Giftland Mall, East Coast Demerara, S&R Parking Lot, Parika, Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) in Timehri, Little Rock Suites, New Amsterdam and outside of the GEA’s Head Office, Georgetown.
To complement EV infrastructure development, there have been investments in capacity-building opportunities. 77 persons have now been trained to repair and maintain EVs in Guyana.
The Government of Guyana has also invested in 14 additional EV charging stations that being manufactured and will arrive in the country by December 2025. This will bring the total number of EV charging stations in Guyana to 23.
The expansion of Guyana’s electric mobility industry underscores the country’s gradual shift toward low-carbon transportation and the national progress being made in the transition to EVs. It also highlights the importance of raising public awareness, and fostering the growth on sustainable vehicles, including EVs.
Against the backdrop of electric mobility development, Guyana proudly joined the international community on September 9, 2025, in observing World EV Day under the global campaign slogan #DriveChange, reaffirming the nation’s commitment to raising awareness about the transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
Here are several key highlights of the country’s electric mobility progress.
