Gogoro unveils the world’s first replaceable solid-state battery for electric vehicles

Developments on solid state batteries, which are shown as a solution to increase the range of electric vehicles, continue. Finally, Gogoro has announced the world’s first replaceable solid-state lithium ceramic EV battery prototype.

commercialized in 2025

The new Gogoro solid-state battery prototype, developed jointly by Gogoro and solid-state battery technology specialist ProLogium Technology, will instantly ‘charge’ light electric vehicles such as electric scooters and motorcycles. It is stated that the battery will provide higher energy density, improved stability and high security for better range.

Gogoro states that without changing the size of 1.7 kWh lithium-ion batteries, the solid-state battery pack they have developed in the same size can increase the capacity to 2.5 kWh. We can say that this increase in energy density will also provide an increase in range.

The 9.5 kg Gogoro battery eliminates the problem of charging electric vehicles by being portable. The battery, which offers the possibility to be charged anywhere, can be easily removed from the vehicle, according to the company. It is stated that the commercial version of the battery, which is still a prototype, can be presented in 2025 at the earliest.
