Ola Electric unveils indigenously made Li-ion cell

Ola Electric on Tuesday unveiled the country’s first indigenously developed lithium ion cell.

The Bengaluru-based two-wheeler maker said it will begin the mass production of the cell — NMC 2170, from its Chennai-based Gigafactory by 2023. The use of specific chemistry and materials enables the cell to pack more energy in a given space and also improves the overall life cycle of the cell, the company said in a statement. The cell has been developed keeping the indigenous conditions at the core, it added.
