Ola Electric has taken a major step towards making electric mobility more accessible in India with the launch of its affordable electric scooters, the Gig and S1 Z series. These scooters are designed to cater to a wide range of users, from daily commuters to businesses, offering features that prioritize convenience and efficiency at competitive price points.
Ola Gig & S1z Scooter Features and Pricing
The Gig and Gig+ are targeted at the business-to-business (B2B) market, with prices starting at ₹39,999. They are equipped with swappable battery technology, making them ideal for delivery services and businesses needing extended operational hours. These models offer a range of up to 112 km on a single charge, ensuring reliability for commercial purposes.
On the other hand, the S1 Z and S1 Z+ cater to individual users looking for cost-effective electric scooters for personal use. Starting at ₹59,999, these scooters come with enhanced features, including a top speed of 70 km/h, providing an efficient and eco-friendly commuting solution.
Focus on Swappable Batteries
A standout feature of these new models is the introduction of swappable batteries. This innovation addresses a common challenge in the EV sector—charging infrastructure. With swappable batteries, users can quickly replace a drained battery with a fully charged one, eliminating long wait times for recharging.
Deliveries to Begin in 2025
Ola Electric has announced that deliveries for these scooters will begin in 2025. The company is also working on setting up a robust battery-swapping network to support this new product line. The initiative aligns with Ola’s vision of accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles across India by making them more affordable and convenient.
