Clean mobility that pays a living wage.
Solar-powered rides, driven by women
Emergi runs e-kekehs in Monrovia, charged by the sun and driven only by women. Every vehicle gives a woman a stable income and takes a petrol kekeh off the road.
Fleet data since launch, as of [month 2026]. Income from daily driver surveys during the 2025 field test. How we measure
One system: sun, vehicle, driver
We bring together what usually stops electric mobility in West Africa: reliable charging, affordable vehicles, trained drivers and a way to book a ride.
Solar-powered charging
Our solar charging station in Monrovia uses smart protocols for net-metering. The sun charges the fleet, and any excess electricity feeds back to the grid.
Electric tuk-tuks built for the city
Li-ion battery with a 110 km range and a 4-hour fast charge. A battery management system and a solar roof extend battery life. No tailpipe, no noise, no pollutants.
Lease-to-use for $10 a day
Women drivers get secure work: one daily fee covers the fully charged vehicle and driver training.
“Joining Emergi is 100% women empowerment.”
Before Emergi, almost no women drove kekehs in Monrovia. Today 30 women do, and 91% of the people we surveyed want to see more of them.

Humasol built and tested solar roofs on our e-kekehs in Monrovia in 2026: up to 25 km more range a day in full sun.
University of Twente co-designed our service network of hubs, stations and swap points, and is helping us build a shared maintenance system.
TU Delft, University of Twente and I4Policy join us on research, design and policy.
