Ola pushes for only electric two-wheelers by 2025
BENGALURU: Ola co-founder Bhavish Aggarwal urged the auto industry to stop using petrol for two-wheelers by 2025 and shift to electric as he launched the company’s electric scooter which will place it in direct competition with companies such as Ather Energy.
“The future is going to be electric and I hope our investments into the future factory and the revolutionary product we announced today will encourage all of you consumers to reject petrol and truly come to electric,” he said in a presentation prior to the launch.
Ola’s electric scooters are being manufactured in a 500-acre factory in Tamil Nadu’s Krishnagiri. The company targets making 10 million scooters annually, or 1 scooter every 2 seconds, making it the world’s largest two-wheeler factory.
