companions headed to the gas station to refuel. Instead, he brought electric motorcycles to an increasingly widespread battery exchange station in Taiwan. which the designer said The technology could help fuel vehicles that switch from fossil fuels to electricity.
Lee has been using Taiwanese startup Gogoro rechargeable batteries since 2015, making him one of the 450,000 members who change an average of 330,000 batteries each day. according to the information of the company
Lee said using the battery was about 10 percent more expensive than buying gasoline a month.
Gogoro is currently looking to expand its business in the region and in New York City. Now, there are more than 2,300 battery exchange stations across Taiwan outside convenience stores or along parking lots. In which the driver of an electric motorcycle or moped stops to exchange the depleted battery with a fresh one.
However, previous attempts to launch a battery swap business have shown frustration. especially for electric cars
Companies in China, the United States and Israel have struggled to provide easily accessible battery swap sites for electric vehicles. This is partly due to the high cost of building charging stations. And it takes more time to charge very large cells.

Luke also said that Gogoro is expanding its market through local partners. to the world's largest motorcycle markets such as China, India and Indonesia. which is a country with smog-covered cities It has partnered with industry-leading companies including Hero MotoCorp in India, the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer, Chinese company Yadea. The world's leading electric bicycle manufacturer and Gojek, an Indonesian ride-hailing company.
China launched a battery exchange system in Hangzhou in October. There are plans to expand to other cities this year.
