India: Ola Electric kickstarts pre-bookings of its electric scooter
Ola Electric has started accepting pre-bookings of its first electric scooter, simply called the Ola Scooter. Starting from July 15, customers can pre-book their Ola Scooter by paying a refundable deposit of ₹499.
Ola says that the customers who pre-book their scooter will get priority delivery. Those interested can head over to olaelectric.com to reserve their Ola Scooter now. The opening of pre-bookings for the scooter comes close on the heels of Ola Electric raising $100 million (approx. ₹740 crore) in the form of debt from Bank of Baroda.
The Ola Scooter won’t be the only electric scooter from the ride hailing giant – the company says this is just the first in a range of Ola electric two-wheelers. It will be manufactured at the Ola FutureFactory in Tamil Nadu. The company says it is working to operationalize a capacity of 2 million vehicles and intends to hit the full 10 million capacity by next year.
