— Bhavish Aggarwal (@bhash) August 12, 2022Ola Electric already has scooters in the Indian market– though in the past few months safety concerns have been raised about these EV scooters.
If it launches an electric car, Ola will be up against some of the best players in the market. Tata Motors and MG have already launched electric variants of their popular models in the Indian market. Hyundai, Kia Motors and Volvo are also planning to bring EV variants to India.
Ola Electric has already announced the investment of $500 million for a research and development centre for battery technology.
