Last year, Gogoro sold just over 12,000 of their original scooter in their home country of Taiwan, and if pre-orders for the new Gogoro 2 scooter are anything to go by, the company will have already broken their own sales record within days of shipping the first unit out of the factory.

The biggest challenge for any EV startup that wants to use public battery swapping is knowing how many batteries you'll need to make the program work. Too few and people get ticked off when they can't get one; too many and you're wasting money.
