132: The story of Gogoro and Battery Swapping with CEO and founder Horace Luke

This week we’re releasing the interview of Rebecca Bellan from Techcrunch interviewing Gogoro CEO and cofounder Horace Luke at our recent Micromobility World event. Horace is an OG of Micromobility and very similar to our Horace Dediu in that he came from mobile as well, and then sought to apply the advancements in tech to transport. Gogoro aspires to build a battery swapping infrastructure that will power millions of micromobility users from Berlin to Hangzhou everyday. Rebecca gets the inside story of the Taiwanese battery-swapping company in a depth hasn't been captured before—and conveniently, right on the eve of the firm's upcoming IPO. Horace and Rebecca discuss - Horace’s background in mobile phones - the business strategy behind battery swapping and two-wheelers - Gogoro’s expansion plans for China, India, and Indonesia - some of the largest micromobility markets in the world. Thanks very much to Rebecca for doing such a great job.
