OLA has been one of the biggest Car rental and cab companies in India. Now, OLA has stepped up its game a little further by launching its vehicle segment and is going to launch these beautiful scooters. These two wheelers are going to be electric, which we all know is the future. Switching to electric is going to be cost-efficient too as the government is providing subsidies in buying an electric vehicle.Â

Network for charging
OLA has built one of the most advanced EV production factories in India. The company claims it can produce 10 million scooters per year so the supply for these scooters is ensured.
With talks with CSEL for the supply of electricity, OLA is also opening up many hyper charging stations across India. The hyper charging dock can fast-charge the scooters in no time and you are good to go again. OLA will also provide home charging stations as standard.
A little birdy told Motor Bridge, OLA is planning for the future by going green towards its two-wheeler segment. Also by opening up this huge factory, it will generate employment for many. Hope the OLA scooters are worth the hype.
