Ola Electric has launched an investigation into a fire incident involving one of its products. There had been a viral video of a Pune-registered Ola S1 Pro electric scooter that was seen burning by the side of a road where it was parked. It is unclear what triggered the fire on the electric scooter, but the official investigation by Ola Electric will reveal the details.
The particular vehicle was a blue-colored Ola S1 Pro with Pune registration and the video begins with footage of smoke emanating from under its bodywork. The scooter then burst into flames which quickly engulfed the entire vehicle. The owner of the vehicle is believed to be unhurt in the incident. An official statement from Ola Electric on the fire incident stated that the company was aware of the incident in Pune and it is investigating to understand the root cause of the fire incident. The company says it will update the public with the necessary information as to its investigation proceeds, and it is in constant touch with the owner of the vehicle.
Ola Electric insists that vehicle safety is of paramount importance and the company is committed to the highest quality standards in its products. There are no details at this time on what caused the fire in the Ola S1 Pro e-scooter. However, an overheating battery could trigger a fire, although it is still speculative to pinpoint the cause without an investigation. This may just be a remote incident that does not affect the leading position of the Ola S1 Pro since it was released last year and actual deliveries commenced in December 2021.
