In this PowerDrift exclusive, we get hands-on with Gogoro’s battery-swapping technology and its Smartscooter. Currently only being used for B2B purposes, Gogoro plans to hit the consumer market within the next two years, and their USP? 6 seconds from a discharged battery to a fully charged one. Hop on the saddle with Karan as he tries it out in the real world

Forgot to mention the security features like when the scooter is stolen. After the stolen scooter is reported and the thief uses the swapping station, the swapping station will detect the battery of the stolen scooter and will automatically disable the scooter. Not sure how but probably the station will not release a new pair of batteries for the stolen scooter.

@psocretes8183 11 месяцев назад

That's a great idea. It will have to be priced low so delivery drivers can earn a living. I like the idea that the scooter platform is being used by multiple companies so that further reduces production costs.

@dhruvshetty.95 Год назад

I've watching Yulu closely, and they've started renting spaces in Delhi for battery swapping centres. This is definitely the future. I think we'll have cloud swapping centres catering to multiple brands, just like cloud kitchens. Some for the smaller batteries, and then some centres for the bigger batteries.

@carswithkaran Год назад

even better would be standardised batteries!

@powerdriftofficial Год назад

That should be nice.

@powerdriftofficial Год назад

But this is a direct import. We hope the experience is the same with an Indian localised product.

@SwatejK Год назад

There's space for 2 more batteries maybe then the range would double.

@carswithkaran Год назад

do you need 200km of range on a scooter though?

@powerdriftofficial Год назад

Sure. But that also means more weight.

@ami.7 Год назад

i hope this concept really workout. very realistic approach.. just like how bounce infinity is doing the same in bengaluru.

@carswithkaran Год назад

yeah but i feel the issue with bounce is going to be scalability and i really hope gogoro doesn’t have that issue

@powerdriftofficial Год назад

The swap system if done right can work really well.

@raghav_c Год назад

Very informative video. But isn't the expected delivery date around November 2023? How come you say it'll take 2-3 years?

@carswithkaran Год назад

spoke to the company, their timeline is 2 years - could change depending on market conditions but i’m guessing 2 years will be needed to get the minimum number of swap stations in place

What if the swap station has all the battery slots full ? Does it give two battery first and then allow you to put in the empty batteries ?

@carswithkaran Год назад

it can never be full, there’s always two empty slots. you put in two batteries in those slots and two charged ones come out, the cycle continues

Gogoro is not a plug in vehicle. Only way to charge it vie doing swap. It is going to make you under their control totally. And i don't like concept of lock-in eco system

@Mew-ip3iy Год назад

Other manufacturers can choose to use Gogoro battery swap standard just like how major automakers in the US have announced that they will support Tesla plug

@carswithkaran Год назад

and the charge-type e-scooters all have their proprietary port so you’re locked in one way or the other

@ramk2443 Год назад

That's a major deal breaker tbh

@kulshreshtha18 Год назад

@@carswithkaran just look at their plans in Taiwan then only you can understand how bad lock-in can be. They will control how many kilometres you can ride. And electricity prices are also on them to decide what they going to charge. Atleast with plug-in i can charge in my home on my unit charge.

But this is India right ? We have even mugs in toilet chained in the trains LMAO How are they going to protect the batteries from Indian public ?

@carswithkaran Год назад

the batteries are locked in so you can’t pull em out with force the screen on the station, sure that can be broken i’d rather they make the infrastructure convenient for the 90% of good people rather than make it idiot proof and cumbersome because of the other 10

For India, just swapping would not be the ideal game.... India is so wide and large , it's impossible for any scale of company to implement swapping that would be useful for everyone. Ideal approach would be swap+charge.

this is a bummer. I just watched a taiwan resident's youtube video about empty swap&go stations because of a weekend event or holiday when unfortunately a lot of gogoro owners have to swap at the same time. This could be a problem if there are so many gogoro owners in your area.
