New Delhi: The Ola group Chairman and CEO Bhavish Aggarwal on Saturday announced that I am thrilled by the tremendous response from customers across India by pre-booking of one lakh vehicles in 24 hours. It is the first electric vehicle from this company, he said.

Interested customers can log on to the company website and book the scooter for ₹ 499. The booking amount is fully refundable. With bookings now open, we believe the scooter is likely to be launched in the coming weeks, most probably this month itself.

The surprising bit is that between January and June 2021, the total sales of electric two-wheelers in India stood at 30,000 units. The company says that it continues to receive unprecedented demand for the Ola electric scooter.

The CEO said, the unprecedented demand is a clear indicator of shifting consumer preferences to EVs. This is a huge step forward in our mission to transition the world to sustainable mobility. I thank all the consumers who have booked the Ola Scooter and have joined the EV revolution. This is only the beginning!”

The Ola electric scooter is likely to have a range of 100-150 km and get features like removable Lithium-ion battery, digital instrument console, cloud connectivity, alloy wheels, telescopic suspension up front and much more. Customers, who reserve their Ola electric scooter now, will get priority when the deliveries of the scooters begin.

The Ola electric scooter is being manufactured at Ola Electric’s plant in Tamil Nadu, which meets Industry 4.0 standards will have an installed capacity of 10 million electric scooters per annum. The capacity will stand at two million units per year in Phase 1. The plant will have 10 general assembly lines and will be able to roll out a scooter every two seconds, and 25,000 batteries per day.
