KATHMANDU, Nepal, April 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nebula Energy and Gogoro Inc (Nasdaq: GGR), a global technology leader in battery-swapping ecosystems that enable sustainable mobility solutions for cities, today launched Gogoro Battery Swapping and introduced the Gogoro CrossOver GX250 Smartscooter in Nepal. The announcement was made at a media event in the city of Kathmandu, Nepal, where the first battery swapping station is located. Nebula is an authorized and exclusive partner of Gogoro Inc.

"Gogoro is at the forefront of sustainable urban transportation and together we plan to contribute to Nepal's zero-emission targets through this new age of sustainable energy, mobility and technology," said Manoj Goyal, chairman of Nebula Energy.

"We are proud to be partnering with an industry leader like Nebula Energy who shares our vision for accelerating the electric transformation of Nepal's two-wheel transportation industry. Nepal is at the forefront of clean energy generation and utilization and is actively promoting two- and four-wheel EV adoption and our partnership is sure to make a significant impact," said Horace Luke, founder and CEO of Gogoro. "Together, Gogoro and Nebula Energy share a vision for accelerating the electric transformation of Nepal's two-wheel transportation industry. Gogoro battery swapping is optimized to provide convenient Swap & Go access to Gogoro Smart Batteries in seconds.

Gogoro CrossOver Smartscooter Series

Nebula Energy is introducing the Gogoro CrossOver GX250 Smartscooter, the ultimate Two-Wheel SUV. The GX250 is manufactured in Maharashtra, India and is Gogoro's first India-made Smartscooter. The CrossOver series is built on a redesigned all-terrain frame that enables increased rigidity and comfort while offering a variety of storage, riding, and customization capabilities. The CrossOver GX250's new frame design greatly increases the durability of the suspension system and accommodates larger loads while emphasizing comfort and stability.

Gogoro Battery Swapping Technology

At the heart of Gogoro's ecosystem is an open and interoperable battery swapping platform that is recognized by Guidehouse Insights as the leading battery swapping platform for lightweight urban vehicles in the world. Gogoro battery swapping is a new generation of swappable battery refueling that is smart, safe, and continually optimizing itself to be dynamic and versatile for riders, businesses, and communities.

In Taiwan, the Gogoro Network supports more than 600,000 riders and has more than 1.4 million smart batteries in circulation through its network of 12,500 battery swapping stations at over 2,500 locations. Currently Gogoro has over 90% market share in electric two wheelers in Taiwan and the number of GoStations outnumbers petrol stations. With more than 400,000 daily battery swaps and more than 570 million total battery swaps to date, Gogoro battery swapping has saved more than 870,750 tons of CO2 since it launched in 2015.

Battery swapping is an innovative concept that involves the quick replacement of a depleted battery with fully charged ones, providing users with a rapid and efficient way to extend their vehicle's range. Battery swapping technology helps solve the current obstacles for wide-scale adoption and addresses the urban mobile energy demands in a safe, sustainable, and scalable way. Gogoro's Battery Swapping addresses many of the concerns associated with electric two-wheeler adoption in Nepal including:

• Reduction in total cost of ownership
• Addressing concerns regarding battery ownership and replacement cost
• Mitigating range anxiety as battery swapping is the quickest way to refuel a vehicle; quicker than ICE vehicles.
• Reducing charging time – no requirement of self-charging as swapping can happen in seconds.
