Last week, Aggarwal informed that for customers who had already paid ₹20,000 for the scooters, the final payment window for them will open on January 21 from 6 pm on the Ola app.
He also shared a video with the tweet showing hundreds of Ola S1 Scooters lined up inside the ride-hailing aggregator turned EV manufacturer’s ‘Futurefactory’.
Ola Electric launched its S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters last year but the deliveries of the scooters got delayed despite the given schedule. The company finally started dispatching scooters in mid December with the first 100 scooters being delivered to customers in Chennai and Bengaluru.
As the scooters have already started despatching to the consumers, they have received a mixed response from them. While the features and design of the Ola scooters have received a positive response from the consumers, the real-life range of the scooters have been claimed to be much lower than the range the EV company announced.
The electric scooters are being manufactured at the company’s 500-acre plant that has been set up in the Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu.
The factory will have a capacity to manufacture 2 million e-scooters during its initial phase and up to 10 million units in the future.
