Swappable battery technology is a good portion of what electric scooter specialist Gogoro does. In January, 2022, the Taiwanese company announced plans to surpass the number of gas stations in Taiwan with its battery-swapping GoStations by the end of the year. Since there were already 2,215 GoStations and 2,487 gas stations across the country when it made that announcement, that goal didn’t seem out of reach at all.
On March 8, 2022, Gogoro pulled the wraps off another project it’s been working on—and if it lives up to expectations, it could be an extremely big deal. Apparently, Gogoro has been working with ProLogium Technology to develop what it’s calling the world’s first swappable solid-state battery prototype. It is, naturally, intended for use in electric vehicles. Crucially, it’s also backwards-compatible with Gogoro’s existing Powered by Gogoro Network scooter fleet.
