Ola Electric’s roadmap for 2026 is crystal clear: premium electric motorcycles, ShaktiUPS, and Container BESS are the headline acts.
The company seems determined to position itself as a high-tech, premium EV player rather than a mass-market disruptor.
Ola Electric Motorcycles due in 2026
But in the process, we at PlugInCaroo are guessing that Ola appears to have quietly sidelined its Gig scooter, Z-Series scooter, and even the much-discussed electric autorickshaw… the smallCar? well that could be 3-5yrs down the line.
At first glance, Ola Electric’s recent challenges—delays in product launches, financial losses, and growing market skepticism—might seem like signs of a struggling company. However, a deeper analysis reveals that the reality is entirely different.
You know it … I know it… we all know it… the Petrol Industry is going to collapse. The people who REFUSED to innovate in Electric Vehicles are today feeling threatened. Are they using their clout in the various departments to PREVENT OLA ELECTRIC from selling electric scooters in the market?
NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF INDIA … almost EVERY department is taking action against one company… WHY?
If you google search “Problems with Chetak Electric Scooter” or Ather or iQube… you will find the exact same problems… THEN WHY ONLY OLA IS SINGLED OUT for INTENSE, REGULAR media coverage and govt dept action? … WHY?
When 1 company is trying to manufacture electric 2 wheelers, 3 wheelers and Li-Ion batteries to make India Self sufficient in energy… why these companies are trying to STOP it?
These petrol scooter companies refused to make eScooters until Ola Electric started… they refused to make electric autorickshaws until Ola Electric announced plans to start manufacturing of Ola Electric Rickshaw.
These petrol scooter companies who have grown super rich by a generation of peddling scooters… still have no plans of manufacturing Li-Ion batteries in India.
Do they have an Petrol/crude oil agenda?
Do they want to keep India a slave who is dependent upon Crude Oil?
Do they want to keep India a slave of buying the US Dollar?
Q1. Will these govt departments also take action other electric scooters having same problems?.. or are they waiting for Kunal Kamra to highlight these issues? …
The Indian two-wheeler market has witnessed a significant shift in recent years, with petrol scooters experiencing a notable decline in sales especially in November-December 2024.
This trend is indicative of a broader movement towards sustainable and eco-friendly transportation solutions; signalling the end of the petrol (ICE) age in India.
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…
End of Ice Age?… This could be the start of the end for Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Petrol/Diesel cars & scooters/motorcycles… for… Stone age did not end due to the lack of stones.
Ola Electric, the e-scooter manufacturer submitted its initial draft papers to SEBI to initiate an initial public offering (IPO) aimed at raising ₹5,500 crore.
