Published

on

Gogoro’s battery-swapping ecosystem revolutionized urban mobility by offering a sustainable, highly efficient, and customer-centric alternative to traditional electric vehicle charging.

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan, a leading global research firm, recently researched the swappable battery market for electric two-wheel (E2W) vehicles and, based on its findings, is recognizing Gogoro with the 2024 Global Company of the Year Award. Gogoro is an industry leader in electric two-wheeler battery-swapping technology, driving the transition to sustainable urban mobility with its forward-thinking and customer-centric solutions.

Gogoro addresses key market challenges, such as range anxiety and charging infrastructure, making it a standout in the urban electric mobility landscape. Its battery-swapping technology provides a convenient, reliable, and better alternative to traditional electric vehicle charging. However, Gogoro’s commitment to innovation extends beyond its battery-swapping solutions. It consistently pushes the boundaries of the E2W market, integrating cutting-edge technology and design into its products and services. For instance, the Gogoro Pulse smartscooter became the world’s first hyper electric scooter with superior features, such as 0 to 50 KM/H acceleration in 3.05 seconds, a hyper cooling system, a high-performance motor, and a luxury automotive-inspired dashboard.

Furthermore, with over 650 million battery swaps conducted globally, Gogoro’s extensive network of more than 12,000 GoStations at 2,600 locations ensures that users can access charged batteries at their convenience, encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

“Since its inception, Gogoro has prioritized innovation, drawing inspiration from the technology sector, where its founders originated from, to revolutionize two-wheeler transportation. Its battery design, conceptualized over a decade ago, remains a testament to its vision and dedication to transformative innovation and continues to be reverse compatible with its original batteries that are still working with new vehicles and new batteries working with its original Gogoro Smartscooter. Moreover, the company’s emphasis on battery longevity challenges industry norms, with batteries lasting up to nine years due to its intelligent charging system that optimizes charging speed and durability,” said Ojaswi Rana, Best Practices research analyst at Frost & Sullivan.

Gogoro also leverages unique customer-centric strategies that maximize value at every touchpoint. The company relies on data insights from its extensive network of battery-swapping stations to offer personalized support, ensuring a seamless and satisfying experience.

With its open battery swapping platform, Gogoro also collaborates with over ten vehicle-makers to accelerate the adoption of smart E2W transportation and expand its ecosystem, allowing consumers greater flexibility and choice. These strategic alliances facilitate the broader adoption of Gogoro’s battery-swapping technology, enabling traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) manufacturers to transition to electric mobility more seamlessly. It significantly strengthens Gogoro’s market position and contributes to developing sustainable urban ecosystems beyond transportation solutions.

“Frost & Sullivan praises Gogoro for maximizing customer value through enhanced personalized support. The company’s inclusive approach to technology adoption and diverse partnerships, including collaborations with over ten vehicle manufacturers, expands its reach. This commitment to innovation fosters comprehensive and sustainable urban ecosystems, delivering solutions that transcend mobility,” said Chan Ming Lih, industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents a Company of the Year award to the organization that demonstrates excellence in terms of growth strategy and implementation in its field. The award recognizes a high degree of innovation with products and technologies, and the resulting leadership in terms of customer value and market penetration.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in various regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development.

Published

Across Canada, demand for rental housing continues to outpace supply. TELUS Living is helping address this challenge by transforming existing TELUS properties into smart, sustainable homes in communities where new housing is needed most.

NANAIMO, BC, July 23, 2026 /CNW/ — TELUS Living today opened a new 195-home purpose-built rental community in downtown Nanaimo, transforming a former telecommunications property into smart, sustainable housing that helps address one of Canada’s most pressing challenges: increasing rental supply in growing communities. Located at 235 Wallace St, the multi-storey, mixed-use build features 195 purpose-built rental units, providing much-needed housing supply to downtown Nanaimo, while thoughtfully honouring the city’s unique coastal identity and heritage.

The Nanaimo development is part of TELUS’ long-term strategy to repurpose legacy telecommunications infrastructure into purpose-built rental housing as the company modernizes its network and completes the transition from copper to PureFibre technology. The Nanaimo community joins TELUS Living’s growing portfolio of developments that are transforming underutilized TELUS properties into housing across Canada.

“The Nanaimo development represents exactly what TELUS Living stands for by providing purpose-built rental housing tailored to the specific needs of the community it serves. We’ve designed 235 Wallace St with Nanaimo’s unique character in mind, offering a curated lifestyle that blends a climate-conscious, Zero Carbon Design approach with top-tier wellness and smart-tech amenities,” said Manasweeta Bhatia, Vice President of Corporate Real Estate at TELUS. “We shape every TELUS Living project by listening to the community, understanding its unique identity and design needs, and building accordingly. Its central downtown location and proximity to both Vancouver Island University and Nanaimo Regional General Hospital also position it as an ideal home for students, educators, and healthcare workers seeking modern, connected living.”

“More housing and good jobs are a win-win for downtown Nanaimo,” said Sheila Malcolmson, MLA for Nanaimo-Gabriola Island. “Adding to the approximately 1,500 affordable homes our B.C. government has completed and underway in Nanaimo, it’s great to see TELUS stepping up with 195 new units. It’s been great to see hundreds of construction and indirect jobs in town, and I can’t wait to see folks move into their new homes.”

“I’m thrilled to see a new rental option in downtown Nanaimo, and especially excited that this conversion was made with sustainability and active transportation in mind,” said George Anderson, MLA for Nanaimo-Lantzville. “Ensuring everyone can find homes they can afford in the communities they love requires creative approaches, and I hope to see more creativity like this in the future.”

“I’m delighted to celebrate the opening of TELUS Living Nanaimo, a landmark project that strengthens our downtown as a vibrant, inclusive place to live,” said Leonard Krog, Mayor of Nanaimo. “This partnership between the City of Nanaimo, our community, and TELUS demonstrates what’s possible when we work together toward shared goals. The addition of nearly 200 diverse housing options is exactly what our city needs, and we’re excited about the positive impact this will have on our community. TELUS’ commitment to our city and investment in our future will contribute to Nanaimo’s economic and social vitality.”

Situated within walking distance of downtown’s vibrant cafes, eclectic Old City Quarter, the iconic Harbourfront Walkway, and a short transit ride from Vancouver Island University and Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, the development is architecturally designed to blend classic and contemporary exterior elements. Curated for modern living, the community offers an expansive suite of indoor and outdoor social amenities alongside street-level retail and public art contributions.

Project Highlights:

Smart-Enabled Living: Powered by the TELUS PureFibre network, the custom TELUS Living App provides keyless entry, smart climate control, leak detection, parcel notifications, visitor management, and amenity bookings.Social & Wellness Amenities: Features a rooftop deck with an outdoor kitchen, BBQs, and panoramic views, alongside a state-of-the-art fitness centre and resident lounge.Pet & Active Lifestyle Ready: Equipped with a dedicated children’s outdoor play area, outdoor bark park and pet care station, secure underground parking, bike storage and maintenance facilities.Premium Functional Interiors: Studio to three-bedroom layouts include private balconies, individual A/C with Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) for optimal air quality, Samsung SmartThings appliances, and in-suite laundry.Gold-Standard Sustainability: Sets a Vancouver Island benchmark aligned with Zero Carbon Design standards and Salmon-Safe development guidelines that actively protects local ecosystems.

This opening marks a significant milestone in TELUS Living’s mission to transform existing real estate holdings into purpose-built rentals that bridge the housing gap with smart, sustainable, and community-focused developments. As TELUS completes its transition from legacy copper to advanced fibre networks, the company is transforming its historic central offices–which once served as the backbone of B.C.’s phone system–into vibrant, smart, purpose-built rental communities.
