Ridesharing company Ola on Thursday announced that it is launching a new electric vehicle category on its platform. This will allow riders to specifically book rides in a fully electric vehicle.
The category, called Ola EV, is a global first for Ola and will be available across London from Thursday and over time will roll out to other cities around the world where Ola is operational.
The company said that the Ola EV category will cost riders the same as a comfort category on the Ola app. Ola EV has 700 drivers across London.
Marc Rozendal, Managing Director, Ola UK, said: “Since launching in the UK, Ola has consistently looked to innovate and help solve the toughest mobility challenges.
