During the past decade in Taiwan, Gogoro has built its owned battery swapping network to establish the Gogoro battery swapping ecosystem and catalyze the marketplace. In just over six years, ePTWs have grown to 10% of all PTWs. Since Gogoro launched its first ePTW in 2015, virtually 100% of all PTWs in Taiwan were ICE PTWs at that time. As of June 30, 2021, approximately 97% of electric two-wheeler sales have been delivered from Gogoro and its PBGN OEM partners. As of December 31, 2021, PBGN consisted of 11% of the two-wheeler market in Taiwan and PBGN consisted of 15% of the two-wheeler market in the top three urban centers in Taiwan. As Gogoro continues to expand and add additional OEM partners beyond Taiwan, Gogoro will rely significantly on its strong and strategic OEM partnerships with their global footprint, manufacturing agility, supply chain, and logistics capabilities. This will allow Gogoro to support its regional partners with greater speed and cost efficiency while further extending its brand’s reach. Gogoro believes that its proven battery swapping platform, enabling technologies and strong OEM partnerships will drive rapid and sustained growth opportunities into global markets in the future.
