Gogoro Joins Hands With HPCL For Battery Swapping

India is in the early stages of a massive electric transformation of its urban two-wheel transportation system, and it is increasingly evident that battery swapping is a critical component to broad adoption, so building out the swapping infrastructure is crucial. Today, we are announcing a partnership with HPCL, one of Indias leading oil companies, to rollout thousands of Gogoro battery swapping stations across its retail outlets throughout the country in the coming years, said Horace Luke, founder, and CEO of Gogoro. There is nowhere on earth that needs smart electric transportation more than India, and Gogoro is joining together with the Indian business community and national and local governments to deploy a battery swapping and electric vehicle ecosystem that is open, accessible and scalable.

The Gogoro Network supports nearly 600,000 riders and has more than 1.3 million smart batteries in circulation through its network of 12,000 battery-swapping stations at over 2,500 locations. With more than 400,000 daily battery swaps and nearly 500 million total battery swaps to date, according to the company, Gogoro Network battery swapping has saved more than 750,000 tons of CO2 since it launched.
