Gogoro set to open first experience center in PH on November 7

Gogoro Philippines is gearing up for the future of smart mobility with the opening of its first retail space in Makati.

Located at Greenbelt 4, the Gogoro Experience Center (GEC) will open its doors on November 7, offering a sneak peek into the world of Gogoro Smartscooters and battery-swapping GoStations.

This marks a significant step before Gogoro’s official operations kick off in the Philippines. The GEC will provide consumers with an immersive experience of the brand’s innovative approach to personal transportation.

Meanwhile, the brand new Gogoro Philippines website is now also live. The website will be mirrored on LED screens at the GEC, and further amplified through graphic animations on Gogoro’s official Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Gogoro Philippines emerged from a joint venture between Globe Group’s 917Ventures Inc., Ayala Corporation, and Taiwan’s Gogoro.

The joint venture brings Gogoro’s world class technology to the Philippines as a cleaner transportation option—one that has seen tremendous success in Taiwan, where it all began.

With more battery-swapping stations than traditional gas stations in Taiwanese cities, the Gogoro Network has become an integral part of the urban landscape. Supporting nearly 550,000 riders and boasting over 1.1 million smart batteries in circulation, the network has achieved more than 480 million total battery swaps, saving over 680,000 tons of carbon dioxide.

Gogoro Philippines is the Globe Group’s first foray into climate tech as it aims to promote eco-friendly transport in the Philippines. The strategic partnership seeks to provide intelligent and eco-friendly mobility solutions that are both accessible and inclusive.

Earlier, Gogoro held a pilot test of Gogoro Smartscooters with Globe employees, who provided invaluable insights ahead of the commercial deployment. It is also continuing to build more GoStations following the launch of the battery-swapping side at The Globe Tower in Taguig.
