Taiwan's largest e-scooter maker sets up battery-swap stations in Vietnam
At least three Gogoro battery-swap stations have been installed in Ho Chi Minh City over the past week as the Taiwanese company prepares to sell electric scooters in Vietnam.
Gogoro, Taiwan's leading e-scooter manufacturer, has established battery-swap stations in Vietnam to support its growing ecosystem. Founded in 2011, Gogoro pioneered the battery-swapping concept, which allows riders to quickly replace depleted batteries with fully charged ones at designated swap stations. The company's GoStation network, which launched in Taiwan in 2015, has expanded to include Vietnamese markets, with plans for 20,000 swap cabinets in Ho Chi Minh City by the end of the year.
Gogoro holds a significant share of Taiwan's two-wheeler market, accounting for 57.2% of scooters sold there in 2025. The company's partnership with British lubricant brand Castrol, launched in February 2025, has resulted in the formation of Castrol Gogoro Mobility JSC, a joint venture to build and manage the network. Gogoro's SuperSport model, set to launch in Vietnam in the fourth quarter of the year, boasts a 7.6 kW motor, a top speed of 96 kph, and advanced features such as ABS, traction control, and LTE connectivity.
The SuperSport, priced between $3,190 and $3,540 in Taiwan, is designed to cater to the Vietnamese market.
