Ola Electric Expands 'Ola Insiders' Upgrade Program to 150+ Cities: High Value Benefits for Gen 1 & Gen 2 Owners

Following an overwhelming response to its initial pilot, Ola Electric has officially announced the expansion of its "Ola Insiders" Upgrade Program to over 150 cities across India. This strategic move aims to transition its early adopter community-specifically Gen 1 and Gen 2 scooter owners—to the company's latest Gen 3 S1 portfolio and the newly launched Roadster motorcycle series.

The expansion comes after more than 50,000 customers expressed interest in the program within just days of its soft launch. By scaling to 150 cities, Ola Electric expects to cover approximately 80% of its current customer base, making it significantly easier for long-time users to access the latest EV technology.

High-Value Incentives for Existing Customers

The 'Ola Insiders' program is designed to reward brand loyalty with substantial financial benefits. Existing customers looking to trade in their older models can avail themselves of several key offers:

• Upgrade Benefits : Customers can receive benefits valued at up to ₹50,000 when moving from older generations to the Gen 3 S1 or Roadster models.

• Loyalty Bonus : For those looking to add a second vehicle to their household under the same registration, additional benefits of up to ₹20,000 are available.

• Referral Program : Ola is leveraging its community through a referral scheme where existing owners can earn up to ₹5,000 in Ola credits. To sweeten the deal, the referred buyer receives a ₹1,000 cashback upon delivery.

Transitioning to Gen 3 and Roadster Tech

The program marks a major push for Ola’s latest hardware. The Gen 3 S1 scooter lineup is known for its refined performance and updated battery configurations, while the Roadster X motorcycles represent Ola's first major foray into the electric bike segment.

The Gen 3 S1 portfolio is currently priced between ₹1.12 lakh and ₹1.78 lakh, depending on battery size (3kWh to 5.2kWh). Meanwhile, the Roadster X motorcycle range offers a versatile entry point into electric motorcycling, with prices ranging from approximately ₹79,999 to ₹1.90 lakh.

How to Access the Upgrade

Eligible customers can access the upgrade evaluation through Ola Electric's extensive retail network. By visiting an authorized experience center in any of the 150+ supported cities, owners can have their current vehicles evaluated and seamlessly complete the upgrade process.

"The overwhelming response reflects the deep trust our community places in us," an Ola Electric spokesperson stated. "We are excited to make it easier for 80% of our customers to continue their electric journey with our most advanced products yet."
