Ola Electric, a company that makes electric vehicles, has introduced a new affordable electric scooter called the S1X. It starts at Rs 79,999. This scooter is a way to help more people use eco-friendly transportation instead of regular gas-powered vehicles.

They created different versions as per customer preferences. Aggarwal talked about each version’s key features and pricing details during the launch.

Ola Electric is focused on making electric vehicles (EVs) more popular. Aggarwal said, “These scooters are the end of old scooters that run on fuel.” He talked about how EVs are more cost-effective to own and operate than regular fuel vehicles.

Ola Electric is quickly working towards this goal by making its strategy involving core technologies in-house, adopting localized supply chains, and leveraging manufacturing engineering to make electric vehicles (EV) affordable like regular ones (ICE).
