Bhavish Aggarwal, the founder and CEO of Ola Electric, disclosed on Twitter that his company sold over 25,000 scooters in the final month of the 2022 calendar year. He also stated that the EV startup’s market share has increased to 30%. Ola has expanded its experience centres to 100 locations throughout India, with more to open by the end of March 2023.
The Move OS 3.0 software upgrade for its S1 electric scooters was recently released. Party mode, hyper charging, ride moods, Bluetooth calling function, advanced re-generation, proximity lock/unlock, hill-hold control system, and other features are included in the over-the-air update.
Ola introduced the S1 Air in India a little over a month ago, with an introductory price of Rs. 79,999 (ex-showroom), and it shares key features with the S1 and S1 Pro
It has a 2.5 kWh battery pack and claims to go from zero to 100 percent in four hours and 30 minutes, but the S1 Pro has an 8.5 kW engine and a 4 kWh battery. The electric motor has a peak power output of 4.5 kW and a top speed of 90 kmph, whereas the S1 Pro has a top speed of 115 kmph. It has a claimed riding range of 101 km in Eco mode, but the under-storage capacity is 36 litres, which is slightly less than the S1 and S1 Pro.
Bluetooth connectivity, numerous rider profiles, mood settings, a companion app, music playing, navigation, a seven-inch touchscreen TFT display, three ride modes (Eco, Normal, and Sports), and other features are included. In 2022, 6,15,365 electric scooters and bikes were sold in India, representing a more than 300 percent increase. With 1.50 lakh unit sales, Ola led the way.
Ola intends to broaden its portfolio by offering new electric motorcycles and scooters in the premium and volume segments by 2024, as it expands into new pricing ranges. The first Ola electric car will be available in 2024, with the business aiming to have six different electric four-wheelers available by 2027.
