Ola has a lot of plus on its side and just 1 minus point on its side.
The only minus point is its SOFTWARE GLITCHES on the VCU and Touch Screen. Ola is not the only company to suffer from it. Ather also has this problem.
Let us understand this problem thoroughly.
Software glitches on the VCU & Touchscreen is not just an Ola Electric or Ather problem… its quite common in a lot of vehicles with touchscreen. VCU is used with SIM Card to capture customer data. Ather started this stupid idea of capturing customer data… Ola blindly followed it. No other vehicle in India or any other country captures scooter user data… it is used only in premium vehicles.. not in poor man’s mode of travel.
But since Ather’s customers are premium customers from the higher middle class they either have a 2nd scooter or vehicle at home and are not as desperate as the Ola Electric Customer.
The guy who set fire to the Ola Showroom was depending upon the Ola Scooter to run errands and…
Kunal Kamra’s tweet notwithstanding… we at PlugInCaroo propose 3 simple solutions to a thousand problems at Ola Electric service centers.
1st let us acknowledge that Ola Electric is having problems with timely repairs
2nd let us also acknowledge the fact that competitors are using this opportunity to show Ola Electric in bad light. This has happened before also when Tata launched the Nano.
Never wrestle in the mud with a pig… the Pig loves it.
Ola Electric’s 3 main problem till now has been its:
a) Inability to repair the electric scooter… in a timely manner…
Slow speed electric scooters make up 90% of the electric scooter market. While Ola, Ather, Bajaj, TVS together make up just 10% of the electric scooter market share.
It is rather surprising to see that none of the top 4 branded companies (Ola, Ather, Bajaj &TVS) make slow speed electric scooters and together the fast eScooters make up just 10% of the electric scooter market in India.
What are slow speed eScooters? Slow speed electric scooters are those electric scooters which have a top speed less than 30kmph.
Indian govt must encourage this adoption by removing the WATTAGE RESTRICTION for slow speed eScooters because scooters need higher wattage if they have to carry another passenger or heavy load over flyovers.
So Govt should amend the Indian Motor Law… actually it could increase the speed to 30kmph (from the existing 25kmph) and remove wattage restriction and ensure these vehicles do not cross 30 kmph… actually the speed could be increased to 40kmph to make the vehicles more popular.
In the age of flyovers its time modern India does away with old laws with nonsensical wattage restriction… which prevent slow speed eScooters from climbing flyovers even with single rider… carrying a heavy load is unimaginable for him… India needs to do this to reduce the petrol consumption in Indian vehicles.
Currently these slow speed scooters do not require:
The biggest joke is that almost NOBODY knows anything about the Farm Bill and how it affects the farmer… neither those who are Against, nor those who are For the 3 Farm Laws knows ANYTHING about the laws nor do they know about the conditions of the farmers.
Modi supporters feel that Modi can do no wrong. Those against Modi feel he is trying to sell the farms to Adani.
The fact is that NEITHER Adani nor ANY SINGLE country can buy the total AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE of INDIA. We can discuss this later.
There is ANOTHER angle about this farm law which shows that THAT STATE PROTESTING the 3 Farm Laws the HIGHEST was Punjab which is the Cancer Capital of India. It shows that somewhere there is a direct link between the two.
The current situation rewards those who grow poisonous food the most. But that is food for some other discussion. Lets talk about the Farm Bill.
We at PlugInCaroo want to ask just 5 simple questions:
LAW NO 1. FREE TO SELL ANYWHERE IN INDIA:- Farmer’s Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act: allows farmers to:
Sell Outside the physical premises of Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) market yards,
Sell directly to buyers across state borders without restrictions,
Promoted barrier-free inter-state and intra-state trade of agricultural produce.
It aims to provide farmers with more options and potentially better prices by opening up the market beyond traditional APMCs.
(We at PlugInCaroo feel that it was the correct thing to do and there should be no law that forces the farmers to sell to a single entity. Such a law must not exist in an Independent India.
Existing Farm Laws mandate that it is illegal for farmers to sell anywhere or anyone outside the APMC Mandis.
Why only farmers?.. Nobody… Nobody should be forced in Independent India to sell to ANY single entity… whether Govt or Private.
The exiting law prevents farmers from selling directly to the customers. Farmers in India as per law can sell ONLY to APMC (Govt appointed Agents … (read middle men)… at Mandis). These middle men are responsible for inflating the prices of commodities.
Its convenient (but not beneficial) for the farmers because they can dump their entire produce at a single place in one go.
APMC is ONLY beneficial for the APMC Agents (middlemen) because they get huge quantities of produce at very cheap rates… many times (when weather is good and produce is more) at Rupee 1 per Kg.
Many a times the farmers protest such low prices by not selling to the APMC and instead throwing the produce on the roads under the trucks so as to destroy them than sell it.
Ather Energy, a Bengaluru-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, has emerged as a significant player in India’s electric two-wheeler market. Founded in 2013 by Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain, Ather Energy has been at the forefront of innovation, sustainability, and performance in the EV sector. The company’s journey from a startup to a unicorn is a testament to its commitment to transforming urban mobility. As Ather Energy prepares for its …
This video is proof enough to show why Ola is miles ahead of all of their competitors put together… Ola Electric sales reflect that.
The next 10 years of Ola Electric is going to put India on the world stage. Ola Electric will be the Apple Computer of India. The biggest game changer will be…
1. Forget everything… lets consider all things are same. Even then, how can companies that do not make Lithium Ion batteries out sell company that manufactures Lithium Ion batteries?
2. Every potential Ola Electric customer was aware of Ola Electric launching new electric motorcycle on 15 August 2024 an few other electric Scooters. So they would obviously hold back their purchase till the new models are released. Some of these potential customers would have booked the eMotorcycle instead of the available old model eSCooter.
3. Some mischievous people or group of people say sales dropped to…
There is so much negativity about Ola Electric IPO! So much so that it is nauseating. It also seems Google & YouTube too are against this IPO. Those creators who make negative news about Ola Electric IPO are getting higher visibility. Most YouTuber share-market “analysts” have written negatively about a company which is THE market leader… that too by 30 percent.
Do the analyst think it is a JOKE to get 30% of a market which has the three of the BIGGEST 2-wheeler makers in the world (Hero Motors, Bajaj & TVS)? If they do then it shows their intelligence.
Or should we just call them “Chart-walle-bhaiya-log”?
These were the same “Chart-walle-bhaiya-log” who used to call Suzlon a “flop” company or Fluk-Company.
They also used to call Tata Motors a flop company last year when its shares were trading below Rs 120.
Investment in Ola Electric will reap benefits only in long term (10+ years). The company is in loss due to heavy investment in plant & machinery and will turn profitable over the years. This year it just set up plant for manufacturing Li-Ion batteries and started manufacturing leaving Exide & Amara Raja far behind.
Then there is eRickshaw & eCar manufacturing. All this is capital intensive.
