In December, Ola Electric started the delivery process of their much-anticipated S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters in India, which was delayed from their initial delivery schedule of November 30th due to chip shortages.
Now, Ola Electric seems to be upscaling production of the S1 scooters as the company’s CEO Bhavesh Aggarwal states that the factory is now churning out 1,000 units per day. The news comes with another announcement by the CEO confirming that Ola Electric will soon be opening the purchase window for remaining customers.
The company has claimed to have delivered nearly 4,000 S1 e-scooters to its customers since the delivery process commenced back on December 15, 2021.
The company claims that the Ola S1 can offer a range of 121 kilometers while the Pro model’s range is rated at 181 kilometers. Ola provides a portable 750W charger and is also setting up its ‘Hypercharger’ network across the country, allowing users to regain about 75 kilometers of range in just 15 minutes.
The Ola S1 has a starting price of ₹99,999 (~$1,348) while the pricing of the upgraded Ola S1 Pro starts at ₹1,29,999 (~$1,753). The bookings started on September 15 2021 and the company announced it had done sales worth ₹600 crores on the first day, reaching ₹1,100 crores on the second day.
However, if you missed the initial purchase window, worry not, as the process is set to start again soon. Stay tuned for more.
