Expect Gogoro stores like these to pop up all over the Philippines soon.
Gogoro Philippines is set to open the Gogoro Experience Center (GEC) in Makati City, its first retail space in the country that promises an immersive preview into what the future of smart electric mobility is about.
Located on the second floor of Greenbelt 4, the GEC will open its doors on Nov. 7, 2023, a significant milestone before the start of Gogoro’s commercial operations in the Philippines.

Consumers can immerse themselves in the world of Gogoro Smartscooters and battery-swapping GoStations.
“We are very excited to open our first retail space in the Philippines as we gear up to roll out Gogoro in Metro Manila," said Gogoro Philippines president Bernie Llamzon.
"As we count the days down to the grand opening of our Gogoro Experience Center, we are getting ready to welcome visitors and to give them an unforgettable taste of the future of transport,” he added.

Gogoro Philippines, which is a joint venture between Globe Group’s 917Ventures Inc., Ayala Corporation and Taiwan's Gogoro, brings world-class technology to the Philippines as a cleaner transportation option.
Earlier, Gogoro had held a pilot test of Gogoro Smartscooters with Globe employees, who provided feedback on the use of the said e-scooters ahead of commercial deployment.

It is also continuing to build more GoStations following the launch of the battery-swapping station at The Globe Tower in Taguig City.
In Taiwan, there are more battery-swapping stations than traditional gas stations and the Gogoro Network has become an integral part of the urban landscape.

Supporting nearly 550,000 riders and boasting over 1.1 million smart batteries in circulation, the network has achieved more than 480 million total battery swaps, saving over 680,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
Do you think the might of Ayala Corp. could finally drive the transition to more sustainable mobility?
