It was shaping up to be a VHS vs. Betamax type of battle (or Android vs. Apple), & #Gogoro was Betamax (or Apple). A week after the #Ionex was announced, Gogoro announced a plug-in home charger. As the Ionex gets closer to being released, Gogoro is scrambling to make deals. But, they're still not trustworthy yet because we don't know how controlling they are with their licensing. We need 2 battery standards to keep both of them honest. #MonopoliesSuck

We need competing batteries. #Gogoro is too much like Apple in arrogantly trying to go proprietary. #Kymco announced they were going to open their #Ionex platform up to other manufacturers, & it looks like Gogoro is being forced to play nice with others. I like their battery-swapping tech, but I do not trust their CEO at all. We need something to counterbalance his ego.
SlowRain Has Moved! See below.#Gogoro electric scooters offered a unique battery-swapping way to charge up. Then #Kymco announced the #Ionex, which offers 4 ways. Now Gogoro thinks it's being a hero by announcing a 2nd way, making it the "world's only dual system"...but they're still 2 behind the competition. They need to offer home chargers, too, if they hope to compete with Kymco's customer-friendly system.
This article on the #Kymco #Ionex electric scooter mentions "open" no less than 4 times. I have high hopes for it, especially considering there's already a Kymco dealership on every street corner and small village in #Taiwan. I hope they're reasonable about licensing out the #tech to other manufacturers, unlike #Gogoro and their closed, proprietary system.

KYMCO’s latest e-scooter advances a new battery-charging scheme
KYMCO launched the Ionex at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show as the spearhead of a new battery-charging strategy. The Taiwanese manufacturer proposes a power outlet network that combines typical charging stations with battery-swapping vending machines, all the while remaining open to other manufacturers.
I'm not a huge fan of the #Gogoro electric scooter because of the way they're so controlling of everything. This new #Kymco #Ionex looks promising: home charging, battery swapping, plug-in charging, extra batteries. I just hope they're better than Gogoro at licensing out the #tech to other companies.
