Taiwan: Smart scooter manufacturer to install 100 charging stations

Gogoro Inc, an electric scooter vendor, plans to install 100 charging stations at local stores in Taiwan by the end of the year to boost sales.

After selling more than 10,000 electric scooters in Taiwan since its launch last summer, the company plans to increase sales by installing more charging stations across the region.

Gogoro has chosen Taichung to install the company’s new mini battery-charging stations.

Major convenience store chains such as FamilyMart have already signed up to the energy-saving project and will be installing Gogoro charging stations in a number of stores.

The company is also trying to expand its business overseas. Just months ago it started offering scooter services in Berlin, allowing people to rent smart bikes by the hour or day.
