EcoCharge: solar EV charging that doesn’t go dark

Electric vehicles are coming to Ghana. EcoCharge makes sure the charging stays on — on solar power, paid with Mobile Money.

Electric vehicles are on their way to Ghana, and with them a simple question: where will they charge, and what happens when the grid goes down mid-session? EcoCharge is Worldtech’s answer — solar-powered charging that stays on, built for the way Ghana actually drives and pays.

The charging problem nobody mentions

A charging network is only as reliable as the power behind it. Tie chargers to the grid and they inherit every outage — and with dumsor back in 2024–25, that is not a hypothetical. A driver who plans a trip around a charger cannot afford for it to be dark on arrival. Range anxiety is really reliability anxiety.

EcoCharge: solar at the plug

EcoCharge stations are solar-powered with storage, so they keep charging when the grid fails — the same solar-plus-storage principle that keeps a home’s lights on and a cold room cold. Clean energy, captured and stored, delivered to the vehicle whether or not the grid is up.

How it works

The app keeps the whole thing simple:

  1. Find a solar station near you, with live availability, connectors, price and a reliability score.
  2. Reserve & navigate — hold a slot so it is waiting when you arrive, then drive straight to it.
  3. Charge & pay with MoMo — track your state-of-charge in real time and settle with Mobile Money, no card required.

Part of the Eco family

EcoCharge does not stand alone. It sits in Worldtech’s “Eco” family alongside the EcoRecharge solar cold rooms and the Agri Ecostore communities — each one applying the same conviction that clean energy should be reliable energy. It is also the through-line that ties a solar company to electric mobility: the same current that powers water and food now powers the journey too.

Electric driving in Ghana will only work if the charging stays on. EcoCharge is how Worldtech makes sure it does — so you can charge on light that does not go dark. Download EcoCharge to see it in action.

Questions

Frequently asked.

What is EcoCharge?
EcoCharge is Worldtech’s solar-powered EV-charging venture for Ghana. The app lets you find a solar charging station, reserve a slot, navigate to it, charge, and pay with Mobile Money — on stations that keep running during grid outages.
How is EcoCharge different from regular charging?
EcoCharge stations are solar-powered with storage, so they keep charging through dumsor instead of going dark with the grid. Payment is by Mobile Money, and availability is shown live in the app so you are not driving to a charger that is busy or down.
Does it work during dumsor?
Yes — outage-proof charging is the entire reason EcoCharge exists. Solar plus storage means a passing blackout will not strand you mid-charge.
