On October 15, Ola Electric shares are anticipated to be the subject of attention due to signs that the firm plans to enter the energy sector in addition to its primary electric vehicle business. Ola Electric, the largest pure-play EV firm in India, said in an official statement that it would like to notify you that on October 17, 2025, it will introduce a new product in the energy sector through a social media premiere.
This comes after remarks made by Bhavish Aggarwal, the chairman and managing director of Ola Electric, who recently alluded to a strategic change away from the business’s current electric vehicle activities. Power in India is shifting “from utility to deep tech — intelligent, portable, and personal,” according to Aggarwal’s tweet, implying a wider reach in the energy sector.
According to industry sources, Ola Electric’s planned announcement might be related to the company’s foray into the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) market. Despite its infancy, the Indian energy storage market is expected to grow to a value of over USD 30 billion by 2030, according to industry projections.
Ola Likely to Use 4680 Bharat Cell Technology
According to other sources, the business may use the 4680 Bharat Cell technology it now has, which was created at its Gigafactory in Tamil Nadu, for this possible new endeavour. According to reports, the company’s 5 GWh manufacturing capacity may be modified for storage applications without requiring a significant financial investment, and its current network of Ola Electric outlets might serve as distribution centres for energy solutions for homes and businesses.
Compared to conventional BESS infrastructure projects, the model under consideration is anticipated to be asset-light, potentially enabling faster market entry. The growing need for distributed energy solutions throughout India is reportedly the main driver of the Total Contract Value (TCV) movement in this sector.
How this Could be a Game Changer Move for Ola?
Ola Electric may profit from its current infrastructure and domestic manufacturing skills if it decides to enter the energy storage business. Such actions are also perceived as being supported by the Indian government’s concentration on domestic production. After Aggarwal formally announces the intentions on October 17, which might be Ola Electric’s official entry into the energy storage market, more details are anticipated. Ola Electric Mobility’s stock ended Tuesday’s trading session flat on the BSE at INR 50.08.

Under the Prime Minister Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-Drive) programme, the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) has released the operating rules for the installation of EV public charging stations (EV PCS). Under the PM E-Drive programme, the government had set aside INR 2,000 crore to install over 72,300 public EV charging stations nationwide.
The instructions state that in order to facilitate the building of EV charging infrastructure in various places, a tiered subsidy structure will be used. Upstream infrastructure and EV charging equipment (EVSE) on government buildings, including offices, housing complexes, hospitals, and educational institutions, will be fully subsidised, as long as the chargers are accessible to the general public for free.
Government’s Push for EV’s Expansion Through Subsidies
The subsidy covers 70% of the cost of EVSE and 80% of upstream infrastructure for transport hubs and public sector-controlled sites such as toll plazas, bus depots, airports, OMC outlets and train stations. Streets, malls, and market complexes are among the numerous public places where an 80% subsidy is provided exclusively for upstream infrastructure.
Anywhere that battery charging stations and swapping are installed, they are also eligible for an 80% infrastructure subsidy. The benchmark price for upstream infrastructure is INR 6.04 lakh for chargers with a capacity of up to 50 kW and INR 24 lakh for chargers with a capacity of more than 150 kW.
Benchmark prices for EV Supply Equipment (EVSE) differ depending on the kind and capacity of the charger; for instance, a 50 kW CCS-II charger costs INR 7.25 lakh, while a 100 kW CCS-II charger costs INR 11.68 lakh. These expenses will serve as the foundation for calculating the amounts of eligible subsidies.
Scheme Focusing on Urban Centres
The plan will prioritise state capitals, smart cities, satellite towns connected to the metro, high-density national and state highways, and metropolitan centres with a population of one million or more. Airports, train stations and petrol stations are examples of public transportation hubs that have been designated for infrastructure support.
Incentives will also be available to state and Union Territory governments, including their PSUs and connected agencies, central ministries, and central public sector enterprises (CPSEs) to help electrify government department fleets. Using a specialised web platform, nodal bodies will be in charge of determining high-priority sites and submitting combined bids. Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has been designated as the Project Implementation Agency in order to guarantee prompt and high-quality execution.
A two-tranche approach will be used for the subsidy disbursal, with money being granted if performance and compliance requirements are met. In order to facilitate payments, monitor usage, and enable real-time station availability, integration with the National Unified EV Charging Hub will be required.

The four-year journey that once promised to revolutionise India’s pre-owned two-wheeler business has come to an end with the closure of Bengaluru-based Beepkart.
According to a statement posted on the startup’s website, BeepKart is still totally dedicated to helping its current clients. We appreciate your participation in the BeepKart adventure. Currently, negotiations are underway for its creators to sell BeepKart’s tech stack and assets.
According to various news reports, they also want to give investors their money back. Hemir Doshi and Abhishek Saraf, the cofounders of BeepKart, did not reply to Inc42’s enquiries regarding the development. When a response is received, the story will be updated.
Closure of Chennai Plant & Layoffs
This follows many media stories stating that BeepKart has closed its Chennai operations and fired all of its employees there. The startup was also progressively closing its Bengaluru offices. At the time, a BeepKart representative had stated that the company was transitioning to an asset-light operating model.
The spokesman also stated that BeepKart had a “comfortable runway”, had “substantially” increased its profitability, and was negotiating an M&A deal with possible strategic investors. But such conversations never came to pass. Established in 2021, BeepKart has raised more than $18 million from well-known investors, including Innoven Capital, Stellaris Venture Partners, and Chiratae Ventures.
Why BeepKart Failed Despite Rising Revenues?
By providing consumers with inspection, refurbishment, financing, and warranties, the firm positioned itself as a full-stack platform for buying and selling old two-wheelers. Nevertheless, the business model suffered from high operational costs and narrow margins.
After raising money between 2022 and 2024, BeepKart expanded aggressively, opening several outlets in Bengaluru and Chennai; however, this strategy backfired. Numerous stores were positioned close to one another, which reduced each other’s clientele rather than broadening their reach.
Investor Backing & Aggressive Expansion
Despite a 165% YoY increase in revenue to INR 100 Cr in FY24, BeepKart’s loss doubled to INR 66 Cr. According to reports, the cost of refurbishment accounted for around 10% of car pricing, making it challenging to maintain profitability in a market where consumers are highly sensitive to price.
Uncertainty was increased by the startup’s recent run of high-level departures, which included the departures of its CTO and important business leaders. In the meantime, social media was inundated with complaints from its consumers regarding subpar after-sales services and vehicle condition.
Challenges in India’s Used Two-Wheeler Market
The demise of BeepKart joins an increasing number of failures in India’s second-hand two-wheeler market, where CredR and Cars24’s Moto have already ceased operations. Scaling has been very challenging due to a number of variables, including low margins, fragmented supply, and investor unwillingness to support operations-heavy models, even though the addressable market is huge.

On August 11, 2025, Tesla formally opened its second dealership in India at Worldmark 3, Aerocity, New Delhi. The well-liked Model Y electric SUV, which is available in two versions—Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and Long Range RWD—will be on display at the new Tesla dealership in Delhi. This development comes after last month’s opening of Tesla’s first Indian store in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex.
Tesla Model Y India Price and Variants
The Long Range RWD variant costs Rs 67.89 lakh (ex-showroom), while the basic Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) model costs Rs 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom). The third quarter of 2025 is anticipated to see the start of deliveries for both.
Performance, Range, and Battery Specs of Model Y
The Model Y basic RWD can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 5.9 seconds and has a stated driving range of 500 km on a full charge. The Long Range RWD accelerates from 0 to 100 kmph in 5.6 seconds and extends the range to 622 km. The maximum speed for both is 201 kmph.
Business Operations of Delhi Unit
Under a nine-year contract, Tesla has secured around 8,200 square feet of space at Worldmark 3 for the Aerocity showroom. According to reports, the lease starts at INR 17.22 lakh a month, with rate increases planned every three years. The space in Mumbai is roughly 4,000 square feet.
The New Delhi Experience Centre will serve as a venue for both client interaction and display. Prospective customers will be able to see Tesla cars, read through the specs, and look into charging and buying possibilities. The launch of the Delhi showroom, according to industry observers, is a step towards Tesla’s goal of growing its retail network throughout important Indian cities.
Tesla’s Retail Expansion Plans in India
As part of its India plan, the corporation is anticipated to open additional showrooms and service locations. The Model Y is imported by Tesla as a completely constructed unit (CBU) into India. It is one of the more expensive EVs in the Indian market since import taxes almost quadruple the retail price when compared to international markets.
Impact on Tesla’s Global Sales Strategy
At a time when its sales in China and Europe are declining, Tesla is making its debut in the Indian market with the vehicle Y as its flagship vehicle. The business reportedly transported its first shipment of Model Y rear-wheel drive SUVs to India from its China plant.
Additionally, before deliveries start, the business plans to deploy superchargers in India. It would initially concentrate on Mumbai and Delhi.
Battery packs are available for the Tesla Model Y rear-wheel-drive variant in India: a 60 kWh and a larger 75 kWh model. One electric motor producing 295 horsepower powers this RWD model. With a full charge, the 60 kWh battery is supposed to have a WLTP range of 500 km, whilst the long-range model promises a range of 622 km.

India’s auto industry is clearly changing due to trends in urban consumption, fiscal consolidation, and unequal rural recovery. With trends shifting every quarter, the third-largest auto market in the world is also one of the most volatile.
According to a recent study, the first quarter of FY 2025–2026 also points to a variety of tendencies. In the previous quarter, demand for entry-level cars and in rural areas stayed relatively low, according to new Deloitte research called Wheelwatch.
Urban Aspirations Fuel Premium Auto Segment
However, the demand for luxury, hybrid, and electric automobiles is rising due to sustainability choices and urban aspirations. Along with the future of EVs, the research analyses important developments from the passenger car and two-wheeler categories.
State Policies Accelerate EV Adoption in Q1 FY26
Few state governments updated or introduced new EV policies in Q1 of FY2026. For example, Madhya Pradesh introduced a new five-year EV strategy (2025–2030), while Maharashtra extended its EV policy until 2030 with a target of 30% EV penetration.
In the meantime, the central government implemented further incentives like a 100% exemption from road tax and registration and a 15% concessional import tariff on premium EVs. Although unequal, EV adoption is speeding up and is focused in states with supportive policies and infrastructure.
Luxury Bikes and Scooters Gain, Entry-Level Market Falters
In the first quarter of FY2026, domestic two-wheeler sales fell by 6.2%. When looking closely at the two-wheeler market, motorcycles had a 9.2% decline, while commuter bikes saw a 10.4% decline. The challenges on affordability among lower-income households are reflected in this.
Conversely, sales of luxury motorbikes increased by 0.9%, indicating strong premium demand, while sales of sports or performance bikes increased by 10.7%. Scooter sales stayed the same, while mass scooters’ market share increased by 2.2% points, indicating a change in urban transportation. EV penetration rose from 4.9% to 6.2% last year due to a 34% increase in electric two-wheeler registrations.
Kerala Leads EV Penetration Across Two- and Four-Wheelers
With a 14.9% penetration rate—more than twice the national average—Kerala leads the nation in the adoption of electric two-wheelers. Tamil Nadu and Karnataka come next. In the first quarter of FY2026, passenger automobile sales fell 1.4% year over year.
Passenger Cars See Mixed Performance Amid Rural Slowdown
A negative sentiment in rural areas has been blamed for the 7.7% decline in small car sales during this time. Mid-sized cars, on the other hand, increased by 14.6%, indicating that urban purchasers are upgrading for more affordable models.
The EV segment of passenger cars saw a huge year-over-year increase of 75%, increasing its penetration from 2% in Q1 FY2025 to 3.5%. With an EV penetration rate of 7.9%, Kerala once again took the lead, followed by Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Karnataka, and Maharashtra.
In an effort to capitalise on the expanding Indian market for electric vehicles, Vietnamese manufacturer VinFast launched its first showroom in India on 27 July in Surat, Gujarat. The company’s electric SUV models VF 6 and VF 7, which will be introduced as right-hand drive versions for the first time, will be on display in the showroom.
The vehicles will be domestically produced at VinFast’s planned facility in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, the company announced in an official release, reaffirming its long-term commitment to India as a strategic market and future centre for the manufacturing of electric vehicles. By the end of the year, VinFast intends to open 35 dealerships in more than 27 locations nationwide.
VF 6 and VF 7 Reservations Now Open
The store, which is situated in the Piplod neighbourhood of Surat, will display the brand’s next high-end electric SUVs, the VF 6 and VF 7, for which reservations went on sale on July 15. “With a fully refundable deposit of INR 21,000, customers can reserve their vehicle at showrooms or online through VinFastAuto.in,” the announcement stated.
The first VinFast showroom in Surat, according to VinFast Asia CEO Pham Sanh Chau, is a testament to the company’s strong ties to India. The company is thrilled to introduce Indian customers to the VinFast experience.
The goal of this Gujarati dealership is to provide not only electric cars but also a whole ownership experience based on excellence in service and quality trust. In order to offer charging and after-sales services throughout India, the Vietnamese EV manufacturer has partnered with RoadGrid, myTVS, and Global Assure.
To further demonstrate its dedication to sustainable innovation, the business has partnered with BatX Energies to develop a circular battery value chain and encourage battery recycling.
Tesla Targets Indian EV Market with Model Y
With a starting price of INR 59.89 lakh and its first showroom in Mumbai, Elon Musk’s Tesla introduced the Model Y to the Indian market earlier this month. The Model Y will be imported by Tesla as a fully constructed unit (CBU) from its Chinese manufacturing plant in Shanghai.
At a time when its sales in China and Europe are declining, Tesla is making its debut in the Indian market with the vehicle Y as its flagship vehicle. The business reportedly transported its first shipment of Model Y rear-wheel drive SUVs to India from its China plant.
Additionally, before deliveries start, the business plans to deploy superchargers in India. It would initially concentrate on Mumbai and Delhi.
Battery packs are available for the Tesla Model Y rear-wheel-drive variant in India: a 60 kWh and a larger 75 kWh model. One electric motor producing 295 horsepower powers this RWD model.

Investigating AI’s Potential for Transformation
The MGDP Season 5.0 subject, AI in Electric Mobility, invites digital startups to investigate how AI may revolutionise everyday life and corporate processes. The seven businesses will create ongoing research and pilot programmes in the upcoming months, opening the door for innovative and useful solutions that combine artificial intelligence and electric mobility.
Collaborating with Manthan and Startup India
In order to strengthen the program’s impact, JSW MG Motor India collaborated with Startup India and Manthan (the Government of India’s Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser), which started in early 2024.
Important support was given by a consortium that included AWS, Exicom, Lohum, and DRIIV (Delhi Research Implementation and Innovation), which encouraged cooperation and creativity within the startup community.
The company is unwavering in its dedication to innovation and teamwork in the electric transportation sector. According to Gaurav Gupta, Chief Growth Officer, JSW MG Motor India, “the MG Developer Program and Grant act as catalysts, enabling startups to create AI solutions that tackle the difficulties and possibilities posed by this rapidly evolving mobility landscape.”
Through the provision of resources, mentorship, and a nurturing atmosphere, the firm is fostering a new generation of innovators who will use artificial intelligence to design India’s future in electric transportation. “We look forward to seeing the growth of these businesses and their beneficial impact on the Indian automotive industry as JSW MG Motor India continues to invest in technological innovation and developing opportunities in the AI field,” Gupta continued.
Car servicing startup Gomechanic is getting ready to roll out dedicated electric vehicle workshops across key metro cities in India, including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, amongst others, in the near future. This venture is being undertaken with the intention of capitalising on the growing demand for electric vehicle servicing that is being driven by the rapid adoption of electric mobility in India.
Although the firm did not reveal the precise date of the launch, it did state that it intends to stage one hundred workshops centred on electric vehicles (EVs) by the end of the fiscal year 2024-25 and to double the number of workshops by the end of the fiscal year 2026.
GoMechanic Plans to Service 10,000 EVs by March 2025
Muskan Kakkarb, the cofounder of GoMechanic, noted that these workshops will be equipped with cutting-edge technology, such as real-time diagnostics, battery health monitoring, and AI-powered predictive maintenance. This will ensure that electric vehicle customers receive the greatest possible level of service.
Hinamshu Aroira, another cofounder, stated that the company’s objective is to not just broaden its service network but also to establish itself as a reliable partner for fleet operators and individual owners of electric vehicles. This will be accomplished by providing solutions that are both cost-effective and efficient, and they will be adapted exclusively for electric vehicles.
In December of the previous year, GoMechanic launched an electric vehicle (EV) service for fleet operators. This service was made possible through a partnership with MoEVing, a fleet operator that focusses on electric mobility. In the past, it has offered its services to key electric vehicle (EV) players such as BluSmart, MoEVing, Zypp Electric, and Evera in both their three-wheeler and four-wheeler markets.
Financial dynamics of GoMechanic
It is noteworthy that in March of the previous year, Lifelong Group’s Servizzy purchased GoMechanic after the company had been experiencing financial issues and was under inspection from authorities. The business has been trying to get its operations back on track ever since, and in the first quarter of FY25, it was able to produce an EBITDA profit. A revenue of INR 85 Cr was reportedly recorded by GoMechnanic during the first quarter of the current fiscal year, according to the company officials.
The company raised a healthy amount of $6 million in November 2023 through a round of funding that was led by an unidentified family office and also included involvement from other existing investors, including Stride Ventures. In addition, the car service company is increasing the number of product lines it offers. During the fiscal year 24 (FY24), it opened eleven Luxe boutiques that provided maintenance services for premium automobiles.
With an outlay of INR 3,435.33 crore, the “PM-eBus Sewa-Payment Security Mechanism (PSM) scheme” for the procurement and operation of e-buses by Public Transport Authorities (PTAs) has been approved by the Union Cabinet, which was headed by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
From fiscal year 2024-25 to fiscal year 2028-29, this initiative will facilitate the deployment of over 38,000 electric buses (e-Buses). The operation of e-buses will be supported by the PSM scheme for a maximum of 12 years from the date of deployment.
The Move Aims to Create Healthy Environment
The majority of buses operated by Public Transport Authorities (PTAs) are currently powered by diesel/CNG, which has a harmful environmental impact. Conversely, electric buses are more environmentally friendly and incur reduced operational expenses. It was, however, anticipated that Public Transport Authorities (PTAs) would encounter difficulties in the procurement and managing administration of e-buses due to their high initial cost and reduced revenue realisation from operations.
Public Transport Authorities (PTAs) implement these buses through the Public Private Partnership on Gross Cost Contract (GCC) model in order to mitigate the substantial capital expenditures associated with e-buses. Under the GCC model, the PTAs are not obligated to pay the initial cost of the bus. Rather, OEMs/operators can operate e-buses for PTAs by accepting monthly payments. OEMs/operators are, however, apprehensive about participating in this paradigm because of their apprehensions regarding potential payment defaults.
A dedicated fund is established to guarantee that OEMs/operators receive payments in a punctual manner, thereby addressing this concern. In the event that PTAs fail to make payments, CESL, the implementing agency, will make the requisite payments from the scheme funds. These payments will be recovered by the PTAs/State/UTs at a later date.
The Initiative Will Also Encourage the Use of Electric Trucks
The scheme will also provide an allocation of INR 500 crore to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles and INR 780 crore outlay to modernise testing agencies for the EV ecosystem.
WRI India’s executive programme director for integrated transport, clean air, and hydrogen, Pawan Mulukutla, stated that the Cabinet’s approval serves as a reminder of India’s ambitious decarbonisation objective in the transport sector, which involves the deployment of 50,000–60,000 e-buses in the coming years through initiatives such as the National Electric Bus Programme and the PM-eBus Sewa. This was imperative to enhance the project’s bankability and secure the continued involvement of private stakeholders, who were previously apprehensive about the possibility of delayed payments or defaults. He stated that this will ultimately lead to a reduction in operational costs as a consequence of increased competition.
Ola is a Bengaluru-based ride-sharing company that only a few people are ignorant of. Ever since Ola cabs became operational in all the major cities throughout India, it has become our go-to option. Along with the US-based Uber, Ola is one of the most dominating ride-sharing companies that offers the users a wide range of vehicles and renting options to choose from!
India’s leading mobility platform, Ola has been operating since 2010, when it was founded and has already streamlined its ride-booking and car renting service and its different modes throughout these years with a focus on its users to add to its growth.
Now, Ola has also chosen to empower sustainable development and therefore, came up with its unique concept of “e-scooters” or what we term as “electric scooters”. With Ankit Jain, Anand Shah, Bhavish Aggarwal, and Ankit Bhati as Co-founders, Ola Electric was founded in 2017 and is set to conquer the world with its unique electric vehicles. However, except for Bhavish Aggarwal, everyone else has stepped down from being Co-founders and has also exited the firm eventually. The Founder and CEO of Ola, is also the CEO of Ola Electric, along with being its Founder.
If you have already heard about them and are curious to learn everything about electric scooters, then you can keep this article handy because here we bring you all that you would like to know about these vehicles, including Ola electric scooter booking, Ola E-vehicle price, Ola Electric scooter price Bangalore, Ola Electric scooter range, Ola Electric scooter specifications, Ola charging scooter, Ola Electric scooter helmet and more.
Why Ola Electric Scooter is much like a “Revolution on two wheels”?
Yes, coming up with Ola electric scooters will certainly help people lose track of the rising costs of fossil fuels and all the morbid thoughts about the exhaustion of our fossil fuel reserves and their likes.
Ola electric is certainly a revolutionary idea and even its tagline says so. The tagline for Ola electric scooter says, “Ready or not, a revolution is coming” along with a motivating hashtag #JoinTheRevolution.
Here are the 3 key features that the Ola Electric scooter boasts of:
Big on Acceleration – The Ola electric scooters would be furnished with acceleration to envy and will allow the users to stay ahead on the road.
High on handling – Along with providing a remarkable acceleration, these bikes are also slick and promise exceptional handling on any surface.
Larger boot space – Ola Electric vehicles also come with a large boot space that is capable of storing two helmets and more important things you would need along the ride.
Ola Electric – Birth of the Entity
Ola has announced that its electricity-powered scooter manufacturing company would be different from its ride-sharing wing. They are two different lines of businesses under ANI Technologies where the former will continue to be a ride-hailing business whereas the latter would be associated with the manufacturing and selling of electric scooters.
Ola Electric Scooters – Built, Colour Variants, Specifications, and Charging
Ola has disclosed that their electric scooters will be made available in 2 versions – the Ola Series S – Ola S1, and the top-of-the-line Ola S1 Pro. The company has already launched S1 and S1 Pro scooters with prices starting from Rs 99,999 and Rs 1,29,999, respectively.
Ola electric acquired Etergo BV back in 2020 and announced that the Ola electric scooter is based on the Etergo Appscooter. The company has already adopted the platform of Etergo to be used in India in order to deliver better performance.
Etergo Appscooter
Looking at the Ola Electric scooter specifications, it is great to announce that the Ola electric scooters paces on 12-inch black alloy wheels. Talking about the design of the vehicles, they are clean and sleek in appearance and devoid of any other redundancies. The Ola e-scooters also feature a twin-pod LED headlamp that has an LED strip running around it.

As per the batteries, Ola bikes’ batteries are not swappable types. It will rather run on a standard charging system. The Ola S1 Pro charging time, when charged at home is 6 hours and 30 minutes, while the Ola S1 will be fully charged at home in about 4 hours and 48 minutes.
Ola electric scooter’s riding range for the S1 model is 121 km and for its S1 Pro model, it is around 181 km per charge. The latter also includes the Hyper Mode, which is not present in the former model. However, as per the reports in December 2021, the Ola S1 Pro will have a range of 135 km at full charge, which is the true range of these scooters. The earlier mentioned range by the mobility giant was clarified as the range of the E-scooters only on test conditions.
Ola’s electric scooters are reportedly equipped with a 7.0-inch TFT colour display that will feature in-built navigation, onboard diagnostics, and other infotainment functions, and will be powered by an Android operating system.
Matte black, matte pink, and matte sky blue were some of the colour options that were disclosed by Ola initially. However, currently, the S1 Pro model comes in 10 different colours, which are:
Midnight Blue
Matt Black
Millenial Pink
Liquid Silver
Anthracite Grey
Porcelain White
Neo Mint
Marshmallow
Jet Black
Coral Glam,
On the other hand, the S1 model of Ola Electric scooters comes in 5 colours – Porcelain White, Midnight Blue, Coral Glam, Jet Black, and Marshmallow.
The owners of Ola Electric vehicles will be able to charge their scooters using a standard 5A socket by using the portable 750 W charger that comes with the Ola Electric scooter. Furthermore, you can also charge it at one of its ‘Hypercharger’ charging stations. The company has already announced that it will make the stations live for charging scooters in over 100 cities initially, which will eventually cover over 400 cities.
The first Ola Electric Hypercharger was launched on October 25, 2021, ahead of the planned test drives of the Ola electric vehicles scheduled for November 10, 2021. The S1 test rides of the vehicles have already started, and have received an encouraging response from all across the country, as per the reports of November 20, 2021. Furthermore, after witnessing the overwhelming response that Ola S1 scooters have received, Bhavish Aggarwal, Co-founder and CEO of Ola, has decided to extend the test rides to over 1000 cities by December 15, 2021.
Amazed and proud to see the strong response to our S1 test rides! Thousands of you have tried & loved it! We’re now expanding test rides to 1000+ cities across India by Dec 15. This is the largest direct to consumer outreach in Indian automotive history! #JoinTheRevolutionpic.twitter.com/ErxXkflQzO

Having 100 acres of forest cover, 2 acres of forest inside, and with negative carbon footprint, Ola FutureFactory is hailed as the world’s most sustainable two-wheeler factory.
The Ola factory boasts a production capacity of 10 million units per year and will operate with the help of over 3000+ AI-powered robots that will have precision robot welding, an advanced automotive paint shop, 100% in-house battery manufacturing, and more. The FutureFactory of Ola will assemble 25000+ motors per day, which will make it the world’s most advanced two-wheeler factory.
The Ola FutureFactory that is set up at Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu, is believed to be the world’s largest 2-wheeler factory that is planned with the facilities to roll out 1 vehicle every 2 seconds. Phase 1 of the plant is nearly complete. The FutureFactory of Ola celebrated 1 year of its production facility on February 10, 2022.
Exactly a year ago we bought the Futurefactory land and did bhumi pujan. Yesterday we celebrated the foundation day with 2000 women.

One of the most unique aspects of this FutureFactory is that the Ola factory’s workforce only consists of women, which is the first of such initiatives in the history of Indian automobiles. When it celebrated its 1 year of existence, the Ola FutureFactory had 2000+ women employed, which has a capacity of employing 10,000+ women. This initiative of Ola furthers the possibilities for women leading industries by a step.
Ola might install a solar rooftop to power its factory and cut down on the electricity bills.

Besides, Ola is also planning to launch an indigenously built car in order to foray into the electric four-wheeler industry, which will also get a major boost in its design with Burgess leading their team as the VP of Design. The Ola electric cars are expected to be launched in the next 2-3 years and would be produced in a new Ola 4W factory, which will be a new factory that is yet to be built.

Ola ELectric – Growth
Ola Electric, which started taking bookings in July 2021, has already begun achieving some memorable milestones. Some of them can be summed up as:
Ola Electric has clocked sales worth Rs 1100 crore in just 2 days
It was hailed as the best-selling electric 2-wheeler after Hero Electric in March 2022, when it clocked the sale of 9000+ units.
With over 12689 units of Ola Electric scooters sold in April 2022, Ola Electric was recognised as the highest-selling electric two-wheeler company in India.
Ola has sold 41,024 units in 2022, as reported on June 25, 2022.
Ola Electric New Product
Ola Electric is up for a new product launch on the Independence Day of 2022. There are speculations that this new product is an Ola Electric car. It is on the 15th of August 2021 that the EV manufacturers launched the S1-series of electric scooters. So, we need to keep an eye on that for sure!
Here’s what the Ola chief tweeted with regards to the same:
Super excited to announce a new product this 15th August!
The Independence day launch of Ola Electric would be another Ola Electric scooter, at least as per the trailer that Bhavish launched on Twitter on August 7, 2022. The trailer had a scooter just like Ola S1 Pro, carved out as a silhouette, where he mentioned the “greenest scooter just got greener”.
On 15th August, we’ll be revealing the greenest EV we’ve made! Any guesses? 🇮🇳 😉 pic.twitter.com/aMFxToOSTo
Though there are only subtle mentions of the new launch, the Ola product might be an updated version of the S1 Pro model, or it might be an updated colour of the same. Besides, it might also be an affordable version of the Ola scooters. The launch event of the company will be livestreamed by Ola on the Independence Day.
Ola Electric Scooter Sales
After witnessing a noticeable decline in the number of registrations of EV companies MoM, in April and May, the registrations for EVs rose slightly in June 2022, which increased by 6.8% MoM. The situations or growth stories for big companies like Pure EV, Okinawa, and Ola Electric are a little different though. Ola Electric witnessed a 27.3% decline in May, and then again witnessed a 36.5% decline in June, the registration of which counted to 5874 units. This also resulted in Ola losing out its last month’s second position to Hero Electric, whose registration figures, after witnessing a decline over the last 2 months, sprung back again in June, rising by over 128% MoM. Entities like Ather, Ampere, and Revolt, all witnessed a rise in their vehicle registrations in June 2022 unlike Ola, as of July 2, 2022.
Ola, which peaked in its registrations by registering 12,705 units in April 2022, witnessed a prominent downfall, where the Ola Electric sales fell over one-third, to register 3856 units in July 2022.
Manufacturing Batteries
Ola Electric declared that it would be manufacturing batteries for its scooters, which is why it is in talks with numerous global suppliers to build a battery cell manufacturing plant in India. The battery manufacturing plant will have a capacity of up to 50 gigawatts (GwH) hours, as per reports dated June 8, 2022. The manufacturing expenses of such a plant will be around $1 bn. The capacity of the battery manufacturing plant might initially be 1 Gwh, which would eventually be further upgraded. Suppliers from Korea, Japan, Germany, and other countries might serve as the suppliers of Ola Electric. As per calculations, Ola Electric would be needing 40 GWh of battery capacity to successfully power 10 mn. The company has received incentives along with a few other companies, under the Production Linked Incentives (PLI) scheme, where the Indian government announced the investment of around $2.4 bn worth of funds. This government of India scheme aims to boost the local manufacturing of advanced chemistry cell (ACC) batteries.
The EV manufacturers revealed the first indigenously manufactured Li-ion cell, NMC 2170 on July 13, 2022. This cell is completely manufactured in-house, the mass-production of which is expected to begin in 2023 at its upcoming Gigafactory.
Ola developed the country’s first indigenously developed Li-ion cell, NMC 2170
Ola Electric announced on July 18, 2022, that it will invest $500 mn in its Battery Innovation Centre (BIC), which will be set up in Bengaluru. The BIC will serve as an R&D facility for electric vehicle battery cells. However, the electric vehicle manufacturing company hasn’t disclosed the funding round, and whether it will pour money by itself or depend on external funds.
The MoveOS 3 Firmware Update for Ola S1 and S1 Pro Revealed
The Ola S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters would be receiving the Move OS3 software. It is still being put together, as revealed by the automaker company on July 16, 2022, and would likely be released on October 24, 2022, during Diwali. This new firmware update would equip the scooters with advanced features like Hill hold, proximity unlock, moods, regen v2, hyper charging, calling, key sharing, and more.
Pre-Sale Bookings and Sales Records for the Ola Electric Scooters
Ola opened the option for pre-booking their customers on July 15, 2021. Therefore, everyone who was eager to buy the much-awaited e-scooters, and wanted to stay ahead of their peers could pay a refundable deposit amount of Rs 499.
Ola electric vehicles have witnessed pre-bookings of more than 1 lakh vehicles, as reported on July 17, 2021, the numbers of which increased each second.
The purchase for Ola electric bikes was geared to start from September 8, 2021, and the brand was set to kick start the delivery of the products from October 2021, as of the website status on August 2021. The brand also mentioned then that the purchase of the S1 Pro vehicles will be starting from September 8, 2021, and the Ola scooter delivery will tentatively begin from October 2021 onwards. The booking for Ola S1 and S1 Pro had already started back then and you can also find it live on their website as well as the Ola app even today.
However, Ola S1 scooters couldn’t be bought on the mentioned date due to technical glitches in the developer’s end of the website that failed to make it up and running. The website that would be a one-stop solution for digital purchases, which would also guide the customers with a fully digital loan process without any paperwork, wasn’t live on September 8, 2021. Ola co-founder and CEO Bhavish Aggarwal apologized on Twitter for the frustrating experience the customers had to go through and postponed the purchase date to September 15, 8 am. He further reassured that the reservation of the customers in the purchase queue will remain unchanged.
The purchase of the Ola e-scooters went live on the mentioned date, September 15, 2021, at the end of which it was declared by Bhavish Aggarwal that Ola Electric sold 4 scooters/second, which resulted in the sale of scooters worth Rs 600 crores+ in a single day. The total sale of Day 2 was even better as goes the Twitter post of the Co-founder of Ola Cabs, Bhavish Aggarwal:
Day 2 of EV era was even better than Day 1! Crossed ₹1100Cr in sales in 2 days! Purchase window will reopen on Nov 1 so reserve now if you haven’t already.
Ola is also looking to transport their electric scooters to the US by early 2022 as part of its international trade. The CEO of the company, Bhavish Aggarwal has mentioned,
“Yes soon! We will be shipping to the US by early next year,”
in a reply to Vivek Wadhwa, a US-based entrepreneur on Twitter, who earlier referred to the Ola Electric scooters as “the Tesla of Scooters,” further adding, “would love to get one here in Silicon Valley.“
Ola, however, had to postpone the deliveries of the e-vehicles from the month of October to November 2021 due to a global semiconductor shortage. However, the delay has further extended, as per the reports dated November 22, 2021, where the company has decided to defer the first batch of deliveries of its e-scooters to December 15 – 30, 2021, which was earlier expected to happen between October 25 – November 25, 2021.

Ola Electric – Challenges
Aiming to transform the types of vehicles and the fuel that fuels them is itself a huge challenge that Ola has embraced with its e-scooters. Ola Electric has also faced many other challenges in its path of making EVs popular, and one of the major challenges is the fire incidents that the vehicle manufacturing company has seen in March 2022. Here are some of the prominent challenges faced by the EV giant so far:
Ola Electric Production Suspended in Tamil Nadu Futurefactory
Ola Electric has paused its production at Tamil Nadu’s Krishnagiri plant, as of July 30, 2022, for nearly a week. It has piled up 4000+ units at the same factory. Though an ET news previously reported that the company has decided to shut down the factory, an OLA Electric spokesperson refuted the reports, and stated that like all factories need annual maintenance, the Ola Futurefactory did too!
Ola’s Change of Payment Model Reduces Sales
Ola Electric initially used to set multiple payment windows for the customers, which opened on 4 specific dates and helped them pay in 4 instalments. However, on May 28, 2022, the Electric vehicle manufacturer changed that payment model to a one-time full payment model, where the customers will have to pay for their vehicles in full on a single occasion. This change has been impacting Ola Electric sales ever since. In the past 2 weeks, Ola has sold only 130-200 units, as per news dated June 25, 2022. Though this model is allowing the company to offer INR 10,000 discounts to its employees, the total vehicle sales were down by 27.3% MoM in May to 9230 units. The total vehicle sale of Ola stood at 41,024 units on June 25, 2022, so far in 2022.
Fire Incident in Pune
An Ola Electric vehicle set itself on fire in Pune in March 2022. This caused widespread fear and anxiety among all and has also led the company to recall 1441 bikes in order to diagnose them and check their overall health including their batteries, thermal, and safety systems.
Guwahati Accident
Amid the fire incident woes, Ola Electric has faced another criticism involving the son of Balwant Singh, a Twitter user, who alleged that he bought an Ola S1 Pro for his son, which met with an accident on March 26, 2022. This accident, he alleged, was due to a fault in the regenerative braking system. However, Ola Electric, in response to this, posted the telemetry data to prove that there were no issues with their scooter and that the accident was purely due to overspeeding and panic-braking. It also revealed the telemetry data in the form of an official statement on its Twitter handle.
As soon as Ola Electric posted the detailed telemetry report along with relevant graphs, proving that the son of Balwant Singh was overspeeding, and met with an accident, Ola Electric started facing huge backlashes for tracking customer data and publicising the same without the consent of the customers. This led Balwant Singh immediately mail Ola Electric and its authority to take down the personal telemetry data of Balwant’s son that was shared. Any further action taken by Ola was not known, but the fact whether the telemetry data can be considered as a customer’s own private data is debatable truly.
Balwant Singh’s son’s case was shot into the spotlight once again on May 12, 2022, when, as per the reports, Ola Electric responded to Singh, asking him to delete the negative reviews on social media within 24 hours or else, he would be facing legal action. The company’s response was backed by its earlier claim that it hasn’t breached data privacy.
Ola Electric Resignations
Ola witnessed another top-profile resignation on May 8, 2022. After Arun Sirdeshmukh, the CEO of Ola Cars, Dinesh Radhakrishnan is the next person to follow. Radhakrishnan was the CTO of Ola Electric who handled critical engineering functions of the company.
Ola Electric – Marketing, Brand Ambassadors and More
Ola Electric has already been a grand pre-booking success and is innovating its marketing strategies to attract the present generation of customers. The company is targeting all the available forms of media including traditional media, print media, and online media to empower the Ola scooter marketing strategy. The company has already roped in Bhuvan Bam, singer, songwriter, actor, and one of the most popular YouTubers of India, famous for his Youtube “BB ki Vines,” as its brand ambassador to hook in the young generation of buyers.
Bhuvan Bam was hired on August 27, 2021, on a contractual basis, the agreement of which declares that the popular Youtube personality would collaborate with the electric scooter manufacturers to create entertaining and eccentric content revolving around the new-age Ola Electric scooters.
Bhuvan Bam seemed thrilled to be an Ola Electric brand ambassador and said,
“I am really happy that Ola Electric considered me as one of their ambassadors. It’s truly exciting to be a part of this green revolution, something I’ve always wished for. The scooters are sleek, attractive, and are designed as per the Indian electric vehicle market. I have joined the green revolution already and I can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on it.”
Ola Electric – Future Plans
Ola Electric has plans to launch its electric car in 2024. Ola Electric is currently looking to establish its battery manufacturing plant in India that will have a capacity of 50-gigawatt hours. Furthermore, along with that, the electric two-wheeler manufacturing company will also be investing in advanced cell and battery manufacturing.
