After launching in Colombia with Terpel, the battery-swapping mobility system lands in Chile.

Gogoro and Copec are launching the first two-wheel battery swapping platform and smart scooters in Chile. Gogoro is a global technology leader in battery-swapping ecosystems that enable sustainable mobility solutions for cities.

"It is exciting to see the Gogoro ecosystem expanding in Latin America, first with Terpel in Bogota and now with Copec Voltex in Santiago. Gogoro battery swapping offers a new approach to electric two-wheel refueling that doesn't require dedicated parking or waiting for a vehicle to charge," said Henry Chiang, Interim CEO of Gogoro.

With Gogoro, Copec is further developing its network of battery swapping stations in Latin America. First with Terpel in Colombia and now in Santiago, Chile.

"Our partnership with Gogoro lets us offer an innovative charging solution that redefines city travel, lowering barriers to entry and bringing electric mobility to a new group of Chileans seeking more efficient and sustainable transportation for daily life,” said Andrea Castro, CEO of Copec Voltex.

At the heart of Gogoro's ecosystem is an open and interoperable battery-swapping platform. In Taiwan, the Gogoro Network supports nearly 650,000 riders and has more than 1.3 million smart batteries in circulation through its network of 12,500 battery-swapping stations at over 2,500 locations.
