Ola to launch e-scooter in July, charging stations to be set up in 400 cities

Ola Electric plans to launch its electric scooter in the Indian market in July this year and is also working on setting up a ‘Hypercharger Network’ to include one lakh charging points across 400 cities, Press Trust of India reported. The company is yet to disclose details like pricing of the e-scooter. Ola said its scooters will be priced “aggressively” to make them affordable to buyers in India. The company also has plans to export to foreign markets.

The charging network will be capable of charging 50% of the Ola Scooter battery in 18 minutes for a 75 km range. Last year, Ola had announced a ₹2,400 crore investment for setting up its first electric scooter factory in Tamil Nadu that will initially have an annual capacity of 2 million units.
