<p dir="ltr">Have you noticed the growing number of electric vehicles in India? It's not just a trend; it's a sign of a massive national shift driven by a comprehensive Indian EV policy. From the&nbsp;<a href="../electric-vehicle-companies/tata-motors-ev">Tata</a> Nexon EV on city roads to <a href="../electric-vehicle-companies/ola-electric-ev">Ola's electric scooters</a>, EVs are finally entering the mainstream. But this isn't just happening on its own. The Indian government is the biggest force behind the future of electric mobility in India.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Ever wondered why? It's a calculated move to secure India's future from a geopolitical, economic, and environmental standpoint. In this detailed blog post, we'll break down the government's strategy, revealing the deep moves happening behind the scenes, and explain what this electric revolution means for the total cost of ownership for you.</p>
<hr>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">India's EV Strategy 2025: 'Make in India' and Energy Security</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 40px;">The government's EV policy is a masterclass in long-term strategic planning for national energy security and self-reliance.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXf78iYgmVxX2hSwKzV_Slp35_DV4cRWXFsIpOox_1hWm7SPnc9fO3wtBbnrase7J5bhbOycNsMDOOJ_yqdzqW1wx9E2VZd8xMuRIMmK2ybdXsM5LHmn1lFBvkn7kLlUzxXqXg8-?key=DCWv455UwBTw6fHZV7a3Rg" width="642" height="428"></p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">First, reducing the multi-billion-dollar oil Import Bill:</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">India's reliance on imported crude oil makes our economy vulnerable. Every EV on the road strengthens our energy independence. This switch to domestically produced electricity is a core part of achieving a stable economic future.<br><br></p>
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Next, Building a Self-Reliant 'Make in India' EV Ecosystem:</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 40px;" role="presentation">This is the real story. To become a global leader, we must control the entire EV supply chain, starting with the battery.<br><br></p>
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Global Hunt for Lithium and Critical Minerals:</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 40px;" role="presentation">Most people don't know that India is on a global mission for resources. State-owned company KABIL (<a href="http://kabilindia.in/">Khanij Bidesh India Ltd.</a>) is acquiring strategic minerals like lithium and cobalt from partners in South America and Australia, securing the raw materials for EV batteries.</p>
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><br><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc1uefhRSjHAbbyXb-gkkaNXXfW8o4KWwu1bDym6ekqU0ObZ0tqvDg_G5bxXOs4aXTP5Ic8q4rgZPAUz07xIIervTV60usOjy8vvdVpbt2n99MP5vCEiCvBuBA3dNibsMrOLDJ6hA?key=DCWv455UwBTw6fHZV7a3Rg" width="642" height="428"></p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Securing Resources at Home with Local Lithium Reserves:</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 40px;" role="presentation">The recent discoveries of lithium reserves in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jammu_and_Kashmir_lithium_reserves" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jammu &amp; Kashmir</a> and <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/renewables/lithium-reserves-traced-in-rajasthans-nagaur-capacity-higher-than-jk-reserves/articleshow/100068695.cms?from=mdr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rajasthan</a> are a monumental step towards long-term self-sufficiency, even if extraction takes time. This is crucial for the domestic battery manufacturing landscape.</p>
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdUG8lnI-HPCSujQnTZUpOW-RsHFDXl58Cd5sm-zYOjVUFeziww4RD4ICCQFsyqcyKwjhcQ0x5FIan8mrt2llH_f4O2ci6q0JkekDdN6FgAbp3xAeRQ61M382KxecZbY_yGDdefzw?key=DCWv455UwBTw6fHZV7a3Rg" width="642" height="428"></p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Powering Local Manufacturing with the <a href="https://heavyindustries.gov.in/pli-scheme-national-programme-advanced-chemistry-cell-acc-battery-storage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLI Scheme for Batteries</a>:</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 40px;" role="presentation">How does the government ensure these materials are used here? Through the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Batteries. This clever policy offers cash incentives based on the domestic sales of locally manufactured batteries, forcing companies to build a world-class ecosystem right here to compete on the EV price in India.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Geopolitical Race: India vs China in the EV Market</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 40px;">India's push for EVs is also a direct response to China's decade-long head start. China dominates the global EV market and controls the EV battery supply chain, creating a strategic vulnerability. India&rsquo;s counter-strategy to bridge this gap is multi-pronged:</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">De-risking the Supply Chain with a "China Plus One" Strategy:</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">India is positioning itself as the world's alternative. The new National Policy on Electric Vehicles reduces import tariffs for global players like Tesla who commit to local production, integrating India into the global supply chain.<br><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdYIk_Vfn3gFcE26lw4i1QRkDLukoHZ0Ozf-ALzJVdTJKeWrcHqsFcrKVUlszTqXHtAhB6BKtxTxTV3DUHTtGyCo5L32o52P84XBrsxHc2hjI8cMDO1MiwmFoT0-OhVRv9N6Tbg?key=DCWv455UwBTw6fHZV7a3Rg" width="642" height="428"></p>
<ul>
<li>Building Alliances for Critical Minerals: The India-Australia Critical Minerals Investment Partnership and the U.S.-led Mineral Security Partnership (MSP) give India preferential access to lithium and cobalt, directly bypassing Chinese-controlled sources and ensuring a stable EV parts supply.<br><br></li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Mandating Domestic Value Addition (DVA): The PLI scheme for automotive sector has strict DVA requirements. This forces companies to increase local sourcing of EV components, phasing out reliance on imports and building a robust domestic supplier base.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Green Imperative: Improving Air Quality and a Sustainable Future</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 40px;">&nbsp;The environmental benefits are a critical necessity for India's health.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Tackling Urban Air Pollution:</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">With cities facing critical Air Quality Index (AQI) levels, zero-tailpipe emission EVs are essential. A shift to electric mobility directly leads to cleaner air and a reduction in respiratory illnesses.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXf1_x3DxFoWGN9beSiP6K62QlzsJ-bMuse1hunKXC6_63VBlgnVCiNqOB6r_hVswbmwDnUkAhyENwM13mtt3InQd4ufLzdNGnHiOLfotH3wrljKgefpV5BhwRRrL2f8alJdeVpTBA?key=DCWv455UwBTw6fHZV7a3Rg" width="642" height="428"></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Meeting Climate Change Goals and Reducing Carbon Footprint:</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Promoting EVs is key to meeting India's Paris Agreement commitments. Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels helps lower India's carbon footprint significantly.</p>
<hr>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">What's In It For You? EV Subsidies, Lower Running Costs, and Tax Breaks in 2025</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 40px;">This national strategy translates into real benefits that lower the on-road price of electric vehicles for you.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A. Huge Savings on Your Purchase with Government Subsidies:</span></h3>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<h4 dir="ltr" role="presentation">FAME II Subsidy (and FAME III expectations):</h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 40px;" role="presentation">The government's FAME II scheme provides a direct subsidy on your new EV. All eyes are now on the upcoming FAME III policy, which is expected to extend these benefits.</p>

<h4 dir="ltr" role="presentation">State-Level EV Subsidies:</h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 40px;" role="presentation">Many states, including Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Delhi, offer their own additional subsidies, road tax waivers, and registration fee exemptions, which further reduce the final purchase price.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">B. Drastically Lower Running &amp; Maintenance Costs:</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 40px;">A comparison of the total cost of ownership clearly shows the financial advantage of owning an EV in India.<br><br></p>

Tata Harrier EV Launch 2025 – Price, Range, Features & All You Need to Know

Discover why Tata Harrier EV's powerful AWD, exceptional range, and cutting-edge tech make it India's hottest electric SUV in 2025.

All You Need to Know About Tata Harrier EV: Launch, Price, Features, Range & More

<p dir="ltr">The Indian electric scooter market is buzzing, and two prominent names leading the charge are the Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3) and the TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh. Both scooters promise an exhilarating electric ride but cater to different rider preferences. Ola is known for its high performance and cutting-edge technology, while TVS offers a blend of practicality, established reliability, and a distinctly premium feel. With identical large battery sizes, the real competition lies in how each brand delivers an exceptional electric experience.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">A Tale of Two Titans: Brand Philosophies</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Ola Electric, a relatively new player since 2017, has aggressively pushed the envelope of innovation. Their Gen 3 scooters, for instance, feature a chain drive motor and an advanced brake-by-wire system. Ola's ambition is to transform the EV market with high-performance, feature-rich scooters produced in their expansive "Futurefactory."</p>
<p dir="ltr">On the other hand, TVS Motor Company, an automotive giant with over a century of experience, brings a legacy of trust, a vast dealer network, and a notable premium feel to its electric vehicles. Their approach is one of steady evolution, concentrating on dependable technology and ensuring a consistently refined customer experience.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The Evolution of Flagships: A Quick Look</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Ola S1 Pro: The Journey So Far</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Ola S1 Pro has seen rapid development:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Gen 1 S1 Pro: Introduced on August 15, 2021.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Gen 2 S1 Pro: Launched in 2023.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Gen 3 (S1 Pro &amp; S1 Pro+ variants): Debuted on January 31, 2025. The <a href="../product/ola-s1-pro-plus-gen3-5kwh">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3)</a> currently stands as their top-tier offering.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">TVS iQube: Steady Advancement</p>
<p dir="ltr">The TVS iQube has progressed systematically:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube (Initial Launch): First appeared in January 2020.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Refreshed iQube lineup (Standard, S, ST with a ~5.1kWh battery option for ST): Updated in May 2022.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">2025 Model Year Update (iQube S and ST variants, ST 5.3kWh introduced): Unveiled on May 15/16, 2025. The <a href="../product/tvs-iqube-st-ev">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh</a> is now their leading model.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">The May 2025 update saw the TVS iQube ST receive an upgraded 5.3kWh battery (from the previous 5.1kWh). This enhancement boosts its travel distance on a single charge and includes design refinements that elevate its premium appeal.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Delivery Timelines: Patience vs. Promptness</h3>
<p dir="ltr">If you're considering the Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3), Ola now states that delivery for this model will begin from October 3rd, 2025.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, judging by past reports, records and experiences, it's possible that actual deliveries might align with the Diwali festival season or extend into November.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In contrast, acquiring a TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh is generally a quicker process. Thanks to TVS's well-established network, customers often receive their scooters in just 4 to 5 days, depending on local dealership inventory and current demand.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Head-to-Head: Feature Deep Dive</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Let's examine how these electric contenders compare across key aspects:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Range</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Ola states an IDC range of 320 km for this scooter. In normal riding conditions, its true range is 150+ km.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: TVS states an IDC range of 212 km for this scooter. In normal riding conditions, its true range is 150+ km.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Figure<strong> </strong>Out Your Fit: Both models are capable of delivering a true range of 150+ km in normal mode, making them excellent for daily commutes and even some longer journeys. If the highest possible official range figure is your priority, Ola's IDC range is higher. However, for practical day-to-day use, both perform admirably.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Ex-Showroom Price</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Approximately ₹1,99,999.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: Approximately ₹1,59,569.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Out Your Fit: If budget is a primary consideration, the TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh offers a more accessible price for a premium electric scooter. If the Ola S1 Pro+'s superior speed and higher official range justify the additional investment for your needs, it remains a compelling option.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Top Speed</strong></p>

<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): An impressive 141 km/h.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: A practical 82 km/h, well-suited for city environments.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Out Your Fit: If you prioritize sheer speed and an exhilarating ride, the Ola S1 Pro + is unparalleled. For city commuting and occasional highway trips, the TVS iQube ST's top speed is more than sufficient and often a safer choice. If blistering speed isn't your main requirement, the iQube ST is a sensible selection.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Battery Type</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Lithium-ion battery.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: Lithium-ion battery.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Out Your Fit: Both scooters use the same battery technology and capacity. Your preference might come down to an interest in Ola's specific cell technology versus the assurance that comes with TVS's established manufacturing expertise.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Motor Type &amp; Peak Power</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Chain Drive Motor</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: BLDC Hub Motor</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Chain Drive Motor:</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">A chain drive motor is typically located in the scooter's center. It transfers power to the rear wheel using a chain and sprockets, much like a motorcycle. Its advantages include the potential for excellent torque, which means strong pulling power for quick acceleration and climbing hills. It can also contribute to better handling because the motor's weight is more centrally located, improving the scooter's balance. However, chain drives do require regular lubrication to keep them running smoothly.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Hub Motor:</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">A hub motor is integrated directly into the wheel hub itself. Its advantages often include quieter and smoother operation because there are fewer external moving parts. It can also mean potentially lower maintenance.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Out Your Fit:</p>
<p dir="ltr">If your riding involves a lot of hills, or if you really enjoy quick, powerful acceleration from a stop, a Chain Drive Motor like the one in the Ola S1 Pro+ might be your preference; it's built for performance and can handle demanding conditions more effectively.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On the other hand, if your main use is city commuting on relatively flat roads and you value a super quiet, smooth ride with potentially less upkeep, a Hub Motor as found in the TVS iQube ST could be more suitable. It&rsquo;s designed for efficient and hassle-free urban travel where outright power is less critical than smoothness and low maintenance.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Charging Time</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Takes approximately 8 hours and 40 minutes for a full 0-100% charge.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: Charges from 0-80% in about 4 hours and 18 minutes. A complete 0-100% charge would likely take around 5.5 to 6.5 hours.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Out Your Fit: If quick top-ups to get a substantial amount of range are crucial for your daily routine, the TVS iQube ST's faster 0-80% charging is a distinct advantage. If you primarily charge your scooter overnight and the longer duration isn't a concern, the Ola S1 Pro + is also manageable.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Brakes</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Equipped with disc brakes on both front and rear wheels. It also includes Dual Channel ABS (a safety system that helps prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking) and a Brake-by-wire system (an advanced electronic braking technology).</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: Features a disc brake on the front wheel and a drum brake on the rear.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">In typical city driving, with frequent traffic, congestion, and speed breakers, speeds are often limited to 50-60 km/h. In such conditions, the necessity for disc brakes on both wheels is reduced, as standard braking systems perform adequately. However, if you specifically prefer the added assurance or performance of dual disc brakes, the Ola S1 Pro+ stands out in this regard.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Out Your Fit: If having the most advanced braking system with the enhanced safety of Dual Channel ABS is a top priority, the Ola S1 Pro + is the superior choice. If a standard disc and drum combination is sufficient for your riding style and conditions, the TVS iQube ST's system is perfectly adequate for its performance level.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Advanced Features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Comes with MoveOS 5 on a 7-inch Touchscreen. It includes features like a Smartwatch App, Ola Maps, SOS for emergencies, music and call controls, Cruise Control, Reverse Mode, Proximity Unlock, Hill Hold, and various riding modes. It's worth noting that features such as MoveOS 5 and the Smartwatch App, which might typically be purchased as add-ons, are included free of charge with this top model, offering good value.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: Sports a 7-inch TFT Touchscreen with over 118 Connected Features. These include Voice Assist, Alexa Skillset integration, Turn-by-Turn Navigation, Distance to Empty display, Remote Charge Status monitoring, Music &amp; Call alerts, Geofencing, Anti-theft alerts, TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System), and a USB charging port, all contributing to its premium user experience.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Out Your Fit: Both scooters are rich in features. If you're looking for the very latest operating system with a wide array of smart integrations and performance-oriented modes, Ola's MoveOS 5 is quite comprehensive. If you desire a broad suite of practical connected features like Alexa and TPMS from a reputable brand that offers a premium feel, the TVS iQube ST delivers effectively.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Safety Features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Equipped with Dual Channel ABS, a Brake-by-wire system, Emergency SOS alerts, Side Stand Alert, Side Stand Motor Cutoff, and Multi-mode Traction Control.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: Includes Crash &amp; Fall Alert, Anti-theft alert, Geofencing, Side Stand Indication, and a Parking Brake Lever.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Out Your Fit: If top-tier active braking safety, such as Dual Channel ABS, is a non-negotiable feature for you, the Ola S1 Pro + is the clear choice. If your primary safety concerns revolve around features like crash alerts and robust anti-theft systems, the TVS iQube ST offers a solid package.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Display</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): 7-inch Touchscreen.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: 7-inch (17.78 cm) TFT Touchscreen.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Out Your Fit: Both scooters offer large, modern touchscreens. Your preference might come down to the user interface &ndash; Ola's MoveOS versus TVS's SmartXonnect. If a highly integrated and feature-rich OS appeals to you, Ola could be more attractive. If you favor an interface developed by a seasoned automotive manufacturer that enhances the scooter's premium feel, TVS might be your pick.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Boot Space</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): 34 Litres.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: 32 Litres (TVS states it can accommodate 2 helmets).</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Out Your Fit: Both provide generous storage. If maximizing every litre of volume is crucial, Ola offers a slight edge. If the practical ability to store two helmets is more important, TVS clearly indicates this capability.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Warranty</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): This model comes with an impressive 8-year or 80,000 km warranty. Generally, Ola might offer a standard warranty of 3 years or 50,000 km, with options to purchase extended warranties (for instance, an extension to 8 years might cost around ₹6,999 + GST). The inclusion of the 8-year/80,000 km warranty as standard with this top model is a significant benefit.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: TVS provides a standard warranty of 3 years or 50,000 km, whichever comes first. For customers looking for extended peace of mind, there's an option to purchase an additional warranty for 2 years or 20,000 km. This extended coverage is available for an extra payment of ₹5,999. It's important to note that this extended warranty can only be bought if the scooter is within 6 months (or 180 days) of its original sale date and has covered less than 10,000 km.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Out Your Fit: Ola's extended warranty on this specific top model is a very attractive proposition if long-term peace of mind regarding the battery and vehicle is a high priority. TVS offers a solid standard warranty with a reasonably priced extension option, providing flexibility for buyers.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>After-Sales Service</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Regarding after-sales service for Ola scooters, you might face some issues. Customer feedback has been varied, with some users reporting difficulties in getting timely or effective service. Ola has also transitioned to a model where some services may incur costs. However, there are also reports of improvements in service efficiency at certain centers.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: In comparison to Ola, TVS's service is generally better than Ola's. Being an established company with numerous service centers, TVS usually offers a more predictable and accessible service experience, which enhances the premium ownership feel. While no service network is perfect, and occasional issues like delays in spare parts availability might occur, TVS typically strives to provide solutions as promptly as possible. You are less likely to face persistent service-related problems with TVS; yes, in some conditions, you might face an issue like the non-availability of spare parts, but still, you will get a solution as soon as possible.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Out Your Fit: If your priority is a consistent and widely available after-sales service from a trusted, long-standing brand that contributes to a premium ownership experience, the TVS iQube ST is often considered more dependable. If you are comfortable with a service model that is still evolving and prioritize the scooter's advanced features over service predictability, Ola remains an option.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The Final Verdict: Which Electric Steed is Your Perfect Match?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Choosing between the Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3) and the TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh ultimately depends on your individual requirements and what you prioritize in an electric scooter.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Go for the <a href="../product/ola-s1-pro-plus-gen3-5kwh">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3)</a> if:</strong></p>

<p dir="ltr">A new survey by Geotab has shown that most electric vehicle (EV) batteries can last six years longer than an ICE car. The UK-based vehicle telematics company shows that EV batteries can last at least 20 years with minimal annual degradation, Inside EVs reported. EV batteries degrade by roughly 1.8% per year throughout this time. This implies that a battery will lose 1.8% of its initial range at the end of every year. If nothing disastrous happens, an EV can still have 64% of its initial range after 20 years. The study has analysed more than 10,000 EVs to provide this data.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Although negligible, the study also underlines the probability of failure of high-voltage EV batteries. According to a different study, the battery failure rate for EVs manufactured during the past ten years has been less than 0.5%, Inside EVs reported further.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Moreover, the degradation of the battery also depends on the geographical factors. Hot climate is responsible for fast battery degradation if not provided with a good temperature control system. However, when charging, it is preferable to keep the EV in the shade. Moreover, it causes problems with DC fast charging, which somewhat accelerates the pace of degradation in contrast to Level 1 and Level 2 slow charging.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">To keep your EV battery's life long, it is advised that users keep their state of charge (SOC ) between 20% and 80% on nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) and nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) batteries. Although lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries are not limited to this, the study has shown that the&nbsp;</p>

This limitation generally doesn&rsquo;t apply to lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries, but a study has shown that continuous topping off of an LFP battery pack may shorten its lifespan.</p>

Rakesh Sharma, Executive Director of Bajaj Auto, claims that the company's revenue peaked in February 2023.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">He claimed that "we probably hit the bottom in February and started to see recovery in March." Citing Sharma, CNBC-TV18 reported this information as well as the fact that demand for Bajaj Auto's products is increasing, which is positive news for the business. “Demand is increasing again”, he declared. This recovery includes the </span><a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">electric vehicle</a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> (EV) market as well as conventional gasoline-powered cars.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In March 2023, Bajaj Auto's </span><a href="https://evindia.online/vehicles?type=3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">electric car</a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> segment experienced strong sales, and the business is upbeat about the future.
