TAIPEI, Jan 20 — Every day, Aiden Lee joins the hundreds of thousands of people getting around Taipei on two wheels.

Companies in China, the United States and Israel have struggled to provide easy access to swappable batteries for e-cars, in part because of the high cost of building charging facilities and the time needed to charge much larger cells. The facilities already outnumber petrol stations in four major Taiwanese cities, the company said, and vice-president Alan Pan told a news conference last week that the firm’s goal for 2022 was to “surpass the number of petrol stations island-wide”.

According to government sales figures, e-bikes make up 21 per cent of all motorbikes in Taiwan, with sales of traditional petrol models in double-digit decline annually.Luke said that, through local partnerships, Gogoro was moving to expand into the world’s largest motorbike markets: China, India and Indonesia — all countries with smog-choked cities.

Gogoro plans to list on the Nasdaq in the first quarter of this year through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, establishing an entity valued at US$2.35 billion.
