Ola Electric had started test rides for its electric scooters S1 and S1 Pro in November..The EV maker now aims to conduct 10,000 test rides in a day across 1,000 cities.
With the prices of fuel so high in the recent past a lot of people were looking at alternatives & 'booking' E vehicles even when manufacturing facilities are not fully complete. No one seems to ask the basic questions especially the auto media which has become the main drum beater. A friend had booked an Ather scooter for his son but after repeated postponements, canceled his booking. Then bought a KTM bike.
To be fair, electric scooters doesn't need the same amount of service as combustion engine ones. Anyone can repair it, if they have access to its proprietary parts. Then you're also paying 1L+ so it's not too much to ask for service centers imo.
True, maybe now they hopefully have phone numbers you can call. When my friend had booked nothing of that sort was there. Even on my last visit to some these sites they were very quiet on this front. And I never saw any mention in the media either. So many unanswered questions was one of my main reasons for not taking the plunge.
When E vehicles really go mainstream then it will be interesting to see how the existing companies handle their redundant workforce. It might take time but will happen.
An ex-colleague is barely getting half of the marketed and claimed range on his electric scooter (not Ola). He drives on expressway uske baad ye haal hai.
