Gogoro To Setup Battery Swapping Stations Across HPCL Retail Outlets

Gogoro, an electric vehicle battery swapping ecosystem provider, and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL), a major Indian oil company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to setup battery swapping stations across 21,000 HPCL's retail outlets throughout the country in the coming years.

“India is in the early stages of a massive electric transformation of its urban two-wheel transportation system, and it is increasingly evident that battery swapping is a critical component to broad adoption, so building out the swapping infrastructure is crucial.” said Horace Luke, founder, and CEO of Gogoro. 

Currently, Gogoro has a network of 12,000 battery swapping stations at over 2,500 locations.

"HPCL and Gogoro are partnering to develop a broad battery swapping infrastructure for two-wheel vehicles that will both grow and sustain an electric vehicle ecosystem in India that is safe, clean and readily available across India’s cities,” said Amit Garg, Director of Marketing at HPCL.
