 "Ola Electric commences deliveries of its mass-market S1 X scooters")
Ola Electric announced the commencement of deliveries of the all-new S1 X range in multiple cities across the country. Launched in three battery configurations—2 kWh, 3 kWh, and 4 kWh—the S1 X caters to users with different range requirements and marks the company’s entry into the mass-market segment, with prices starting from Rs 69,999 (ex-showroom).
The firm stated that the affordable price points, coupled with an 8-year/80,000 km extended battery warranty at no extra cost, make the S1 X scooters attractive electric vehicle (EV) propositions available in the market currently.
