Gogoro, a global technology leader in battery swapping has been recognized by MIT Technology Review as one of fifteen climate tech companies to watch. The announcement was made at the MIT Technology Review ClimateTech Conference held at the MIT Media Lab on MIT’s campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
MIT Technology Review’s new ‘15 Climate Tech Companies to Watch’ list highlights businesses around the world that its editors believe could have the greatest potential to substantially reduce greenhouse-gas emissions or address the threats of global warming.
MIT Technology Review highlighted Gogoro saying, “Gogoro could make an immediate impact both by speeding up the move to electrified vehicles and by reducing the load on the grid to charge those vehicles through smart management of its power stations.”
“Gogoro leverages innovation to address the urban transportation and energy challenges of the world’s most densely populated cities. Today, with nearly 13,000 battery swapping stations and 400,000 daily battery swaps we’ve demonstrated that battery swapping provides a clear path to transforming urban two-wheel transportation to smart electric power,” said Horace Luke, founder and CEO of Gogoro.
