Gogoro Launches Nepal’s First EV Buyback Program, Promising Long-Term Value for Scooter Owners

Kathmandu – In a significant move for Nepal’s electric vehicle (EV) market, Nebula Energy, the authorized distributor of Gogoro scooters, has launched the country’s first-ever Buyback Guarantee for electric two-wheelers. The program, which took effect on August 4, offers customers a guaranteed resale value of NPR 1 lakh within five years or 40,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.

This initiative makes Gogoro the first electric scooter brand in Nepal to offer a guaranteed buyback, addressing a major concern among EV buyers: declining resale value due to battery degradation.

Unlike traditional electric scooters, Gogoro operates on a battery swapping model, where users don’t own the battery. Instead, they access a network of smart, centrally managed battery stations. This allows Gogoro to maintain consistent battery performance and offer buyers added peace of mind, a key factor behind its ability to offer such a buyback assurance.

“Gogoro is here to build the future of mobility in Nepal,” said Chiranjibi Shah, General Manager at Nebula Energy. “We didn’t launch until we had built the backbone of our ecosystem, a citywide network of 45 battery swapping stations. With the Buyback Guarantee, we’re taking that commitment even further.”

Alongside the Buyback Program, Gogoro is offering a series of promotions and experiences at the ongoing NAIMA Auto Show:

• Dashain Festive Offer Launch: Gogoro has unveiled its new Dashain Festive Scheme, featuring attractive pricing and added benefits for customers ready to shift to its battery-swap ecosystem.

With a unique combination of infrastructure investment, customer-focused innovation, and now a guaranteed buyback program, Gogoro continues to redefine standards in Nepal’s growing electric mobility market, offering consumers not just scooters, but a fully supported smart mobility experience.
