Gogoro has unveiled the world’s first swappable solid-state lithium ceramic battery prototype for electric two-wheel vehicles.
Gogoro, a specialist in battery swapping systems, has partnered with ProLogium Technology to develop a new solid-state swappable battery prototype that is compatible with Gogoro’s existing vehicles and network.
Horace Luke, founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Gogoro, said:Gogoro is unveiling the world’s first solid-state battery for two-wheel battery swapping because it’s imperative we take advantage of the latest battery innovations to introduce a new era of electric transportation growth and adoption in our cities. We partnered with ProLogium Technology, a global leader in solid-state battery innovation, to jointly develop this new battery that delivers higher energy density for better range, improved stability and safety, and is reverse compatible with all existing Gogoro-powered vehicles.
The solid-state lithium ceramic batteries are expected to replace traditional lithium-ion batteries to power electric vehicles, as they provide higher energy density and deliver greater range. Gogoro estimates that its solid-state batteries will increase the capacity of current lithium batteries by 140% or more, from 1.7kWh to 2.5kWh.
Vincent Yang, founder and CEO of ProLogium Technology, said:As leading global battery innovators, Gogoro and ProLogium have partnered to jointly design solid-state battery prototypes that integrate with Gogoro’s battery swapping network and two-wheel vehicles. Solid-state battery technologies present a new phase in the future of electric vehicles, and we look forward to advancing this Gogoro prototype battery into a commercial offering in the future.
