Ola&rsquo;s Software Development and Pricing Shift
Ola Electric develops its own software technology, investing heavily in engineering for AI, navigation, and connectivity features, which comes with significant costs. Previously, Move OS updates were provided for free to all scooter owners and were accessible via the Ola Electric app as part of their customer-centric approach. However, since going public in August 2024, Ola has been under pressure to ensure profitability, given the competitive EV market and the need for sustained R&amp;D. To balance this, they are experimenting with charging extra for Move OS subscriptions, moving away from the free model.
The pricing structure, confirmed as accurate, reflects this shift and charges extra when purchasing or after buying the scooter for certain models. For the latest 3rd Gen S1 Pro+ models (4kWh and 5.3kWh), Move OS is included by default for a lifetime at no additional cost, a significant benefit for owners, ensuring continuous software updates without extra fees. For other 3rd Gen models, such as S1 Pro (3kWh and 4kWh), S1 X (2kWh, 3kWh, 4kWh), and S1 X+, Move OS is free for the first three years, with the original cost of ₹8,999 now listed as ₹0, suggesting a promotional period. However, there&rsquo;s no clarity on pricing post-3 years, creating uncertainty for future costs, which users should monitor.
For older 2nd-gen models, users need to purchase plans: the <a href="../product/ola-electric-s1-pro-ev-2nd-generation">S1 Pro 2nd Generation</a> has a 1-year plan at ₹4,236 plus GST and a lifetime plan at ₹8,474 plus GST. Similarly, the S1 X 2nd Generation (4kWh) offers a 1-year plan at ₹1,694 plus GST and a lifetime plan at ₹3,389 plus GST, while the 2kWh variant has a 1-year plan at ₹1,270 plus GST and a lifetime plan at ₹2,542 plus GST. The <a href="../product/ola-electric-s1-x-ev-3kwh">S1 X 2nd Generation (3kWh)</a> also has two plans, but pricing is incomplete in the table, suggesting possible variations.
This pricing strategy indicates Ola&rsquo;s move to monetize software as EVs become smarter, incorporating advanced features that add value. This trend is seen in the automotive industry, where software updates are increasingly subscription-based, reflecting the costs of development and maintenance.
Conclusion and Recommendations
Move OS 5 Beta introduces exciting features that significantly enhance the riding experience, particularly improving throttle response and adding connectivity options like group navigation and live cricket scores. However, given its beta status, with issues like lag and freezes reported during our community's test and echoed by members, normal users should exercise caution and consider waiting for the stable release to ensure reliability, especially for daily commuting needs. As electric vehicles evolve, integrating innovative features will likely come with associated costs, and users should be prepared to pay for these enhancements, reflecting the value added to their riding experience and Ola&rsquo;s need to balance innovation with profitability.

Should You Update to Ola's Move OS 5 Beta? Features, Bugs, and Costs Revealed

Indian roads have come a long way&mdash;from black smoke-belching vehicles to silently swirling electric rides. From overcrowded bikes to stubborn kick scooters, each mode of transport has played its part in shaping the landscape of India&rsquo;s transportation system. And now, we stand at the forefront of the electric vehicle (EV) revolution. A juncture of past and future.
The journey ahead will be carried by sustainable bikes and scooters, driving us toward a new cusp of reality. In this new reality, for many, the journey isn't just about getting from one place to another. It's about the long hours spent away from family, the daily grinding oneself to make ends meet or to facilitate a business in an excessively competitive environment or to keep up with the style statements to avoid the FOMO. The evolution of city commuting reflects these struggles.
With the rise of electric vehicles, we&rsquo;re looking at solutions that don&rsquo;t require frequent refuelling and that can cover long distances while offering comfort, not just to the rider but to the environment. The new evolving social structures, commute needs, and an ever-expanding web of connectivity will ask for new types of vehicles. Pools of new electric scooters and bikes are already available on the market. But the problem starts when it comes to deciding whether you want an electric scooter or an electric bike. Which of the two is more suitable for you? Let&rsquo;s find out.&nbsp;
For Office Going: Comfort or Suspension?
&nbsp;
<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeF0yaUkZw61_q-ohpOOMMx01ypRR5UExNKY3bduu20Zh6qKB76CBY0LU-0UgyaD6zeYcqoy8UA2QIruS85gQH6VJbqRnm3B3ynBvZjNCO84BU9MmWm7lcNGEBBOxYWNYNnklB4?key=h0UKi3idKSoaHJDgVUkLWLJL" width="602" height="339">
Generally, the broader wheelbase designed to give higher suspension is associated with Bikes. No doubt, the same can be said for the electric versions of bikes as well. However, such designs come with compromised bootspace and storage capacity.
If your daily office commute takes you across the entire city, comfort and efficiency should be top priorities. Opting for an electric scooter with large wheels and superior suspension can ensure a smooth ride, while a family electric bike with a spacious, cushioned seat offers extra comfort for longer journeys.
You will be surprised to know that the BGauss D15 and RUV 350 electric scooters have 16-inch tires, whereas standard electric bikes like the Revolt RV 1 feature 17-inch tires and smooth family-seating seats. So, although it's a close call, you must choose between extra comfort and larger wheels.&nbsp;
For College Going: Acceleration and Aesthetics
<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcXHF9RiRWHCS3DzVy7KfiO8DaXr7dFa64rmJcLpuZZ2lUKsBu_00bv336ZJcujQaKpg9intoYOQaKGI4MBFvjMrOQ-bWG0WB5U7E4-cJITi1shIY5-3CKV-csJNr408pWeoB8?key=h0UKi3idKSoaHJDgVUkLWLJL" width="602" height="339">
The tech savviness of young adults requires next-gen vehicles with premium features, specialised riding modes and cool aesthetics. Luckily for you, electric bikes and electric scooters both stand on these parameters. However, the things which can set them apart from each other are design and acceleration. In electric scooters, one of the remarkable acceleration claims is held by Vida V1 Pro, which can go from 0 to 40 in just 3.2 seconds, whereas brands like Ultraviolette with its F99 electric bike provide an acceleration of 0-100kmph in 3 seconds, making electric scooters' claims very miniscule. Moreover, the tough build of electric bikes may assist you in off-roading trips with more control on different terrains.
In terms of aesthetics and practicality, the electric scooter looks much more tech-savvy with large digital screens and focuses on a wide range of features like geofencing, reverse mode, hill hold assist, parking assist, IoT connectivity and many other things. The aesthetics of a scooter are generally made to manoeuvre through traffic, but there are many bulky scooter options available as well, which are more focused on trending styles and city performance.&nbsp;
So, here, your choice should be based on the range of purpose you are expecting from your scooter. If your college commute requirement is complemented with intracity travelling you should check out electric scooters. Whereas, if you are a travelling enthusiast with a hunch for adrenaline and aesthetics, you should definitely try electric bikes.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
For Family: Convenience and Practicality

Family life demands practicality, and when it comes to daily errands, boot space is a key factor. Take, for example, the River Indie scooter, which comes equipped with a generous 32-litre boot space&mdash;perfect for grocery runs, school bags, and everything in between. For families, scooters offer a unique advantage: many non-RTO variants are available, making them an ideal choice for children commuting to tuitions or for anyone without a driving license, all while ensuring a safe and reliable ride.
On the flip side, if your household has several youngsters or if you&rsquo;re catering to a group of bike enthusiasts under one roof, then the muscular build and the nuanced handling of electric bikes might be more appealing. Family-oriented models like the Pure Ecodryft are designed to offer robust performance while delivering an engaging ride for those who crave a bit more complexity and control.
For Businesses: Cost Efficiency and Operational Excellence
<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXee2aRsRtiMXBsXeYvt2dLn67sPRU5buppvfem_BfWPKOootVNWmyCBJsCxItbw8dvpNyVxYr3N9J8qOUPIhF-TLFAH0mED-MyPTGcVfquN07pcdzdrejAUaKSrjNNtmPlN2-wv?key=h0UKi3idKSoaHJDgVUkLWLJL" width="602" height="339">
For businesses, particularly those focused on deliveries and fleet operations, cost-cutting isn&rsquo;t just a goal&mdash;it&rsquo;s a necessity. With fuel prices on the rise and operational costs ever-present, electric scooters are emerging as the ultimate cost-saving solution. Models like the Zypp and Luna Moepad are transforming the delivery landscape by providing robust performance, lower maintenance expenses, and significant fuel savings. They&rsquo;re not merely eco-friendly alternatives; they&rsquo;re strategic assets that turn expensive logistics into lean, efficient operations.
Well, it goes without saying that if you operate a ride-hailing business and want to give proper acceleration and speed to your customers, you will need some cost-efficient bikes as well. With quick acceleration and safety features, the ride-hailing business can operate in premium sections.
Furthermore, the integration of smart technologies such as IoT connectivity in these scooters, is streamlining route planning and real-time tracking, ensuring that every delivery is optimized for both time and cost. This technological edge is revolutionising the way businesses approach last-mile connectivity, making the future of urban deliveries not just sustainable but also economically smart.
With the right choice, be it for work, study, family needs, or business operations, the electric revolution is redefining mobility on every front. Which side will you choose to transform your journey?

Key Points / Summary <ul><li>Research suggests the Ola Electric Gen 3 scooter, including models like Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 and Ola S1X Gen 3, has a new subscription model, Move OS Plus, free for 3 years but likely requiring payment afterward for features like hill hold and proximity unlock, which could increase long-term costs.</li><li>It seems likely that warranty costs have increased, with options like 8 years/125,000 km at around ₹15,929, compared to a previous free 8-year warranty; basic coverage is 3 years or 30,000 km, and community feedback leans toward the ₹6,000 plan for value.</li><li>The evidence leans toward three mandatory services costing about ₹1,752 total, adding to ownership expenses, which may frustrate buyers used to free services.</li><li>Community feedback indicates the true range is 30% less than claimed, e.g., Ola S1 Pro Gen 3’s 242 km drops to ~169 km in eco mode at 45 kmph, and less in other modes, an unexpected detail given company claims.</li><li>Prices vary by model, with Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 at ₹1,29,999 ex-showroom, but on-road costs can reach ₹1.5–1.7 lakh with add-ons; book by March 31, 2025, for a ₹10,000 subsidy, dropping to ₹5,000 after, adding urgency for buyers.</li></ul> Subscription and Features The Ola Electric Gen 3 scooter introduces the Move OS Plus plan, free for 3 years, unlocking features like hill hold and proximity unlock, but research suggests you’ll likely need to pay afterward, potentially locking features like hyper mode, which could increase long-term costs. Showroom visits revealed mixed community feedback, with one user noting, “After 3 years, it’s pay or lose features!” Warranty and Service Costs It seems likely that warranty costs have risen, with options like 8 years/125,000 km at ~₹15,929, compared to a previous free 8-year warranty. Basic coverage is 3 years or 30,000 km, and users advised, “Take the ₹6,000 plan—it’s cheaper than a ₹40,000 battery swap.” The evidence also points to three mandatory services costing ~₹1,752 total, which may frustrate buyers used to free services. Pricing and Range Prices vary, with Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 at ₹1,29,999 ex-showroom, but on-road costs can reach ₹1.5 to 1.7 lakh with add-ons. An unexpected detail is community feedback on range: while Ola claims 242 km for Ola S1 Pro Gen 3, the true range is ~169 km in eco mode at 45 kmph, 30% less, and less in other modes, per real-world experiences. Subsidy Deadline Book by March 31, 2025, for a ₹10,000 subsidy, dropping to ₹5,000 after, adding urgency.

Investigation Note: Ola Electric Gen 3 Scooter Review EVINDIA’s undercover investigation into the Ola Electric Gen 3 scooter lineup—covering models like <a href="https://evindia.online/product/ola-s1-pro-plus-gen3-5kwh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Ola S1 Pro Gen 3</a>, <a href="https://evindia.online/product/ola-s1-x-gen3-2kwh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Ola S1X Gen 3</a>, and their <a href="https://evindia.online/product/ola-s1-x-plus-gen3-4kwh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Plus variants</a>—reveals a complex picture of innovation and cost, based on extensive showroom visits and community feedback. With search trends like “ola s1 pro gen 3 price” and “ola gen 3 specifications” driving interest, we spoke to staff, scoured forums, and gathered insights to answer what buyers really need to know, as of our latest updates on Tuesday, March 25, 2025. Methodology and Context Our approach was hands-on: posing as potential buyers, we visited multiple Ola showrooms across cities like Bangalore, Delhi, and Mumbai, asking about “ola s1 pro gen 3 on road price,” “ola s1x gen 3 range,” and “ola gen 3 delivery date.” We also engaged with online communities on platforms like X and Reddit, where queries like “ola s1 pro gen 3 features” and “ola gen 3 scooter price” are hot topics. Launched in early 2025, the Gen 3 series has stirred debate, and our findings reflect real-world experiences, not just company claims. Move OS Plus: A Subscription Model with Strings Attached The Move OS Plus plan, tied to Move OS 5, is free for 3 years with Gen 3 models. Showroom reps in Bangalore explained, “It unlocks hill hold, reverse mode, tamper detection, proximity unlock, and hyper/sport modes,” relevant to “ola s1 pro gen 3 specifications” searches. For instance, Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 boasts a top speed of 120 kmph, and Ola S1X Gen 3 claims up to 151 km range for 4 kWh. But community feedback on X is wary: “After 3 years, you pay or lose features!” Staff in Delhi confirmed, post-3 years, renewal is required, or you’re stuck with eco/normal modes, potentially affecting range due to lost regeneration, per “ola s1 pro gen 3 charging time” concerns. Range is a major issue, with “ola gen 3 range” and “ola s1 pro gen 3 true range” searches reflecting skepticism. Showrooms claim 242 km for Ola S1 Pro Gen 3: 4 kWh, but users in Mumbai forums report a true range of about 30% less—around 169 km in eco mode at 45 kmph, and less in sport/hyper modes. “I have the S1 Pro Gen 3 with 4 kWh battery. The company says 242 km, but I get about 170 km in eco at 45 kmph. In sport, it’s even less,” one forum user shared, aligning with “ola s1 pro gen 3 real range” queries. Another said, “Thought the range was good, but it’s not matching up to claims. Maybe the subscription affects it?” This gap is unexpected for many, given company projections, per “ola s1 pro gen 3 range test” searches. Subscribers get perks like faster updates (e.g., password unlock, not yet on touchscreens) and 20% quicker hypercharging, answering “ola s1 pro gen 3 charging time.” Gen 1 and Gen 2 owners? “We’re still free for now,” one boasted on X, though staff in Delhi hinted, “That might change in the future,” per “ola s1 gen 3 deliveries” searches. Warranty Costs: A Shift from Free to Fee “Warranties used to be free for 8 years,” a Gen 2 owner in Bangalore recalled, a concern given “ola s1 pro gen 3 battery price” and “ola gen 3 price” searches. Now, Gen 3 buyers face: These below Warranty options &amp; Approx Cost <ul><li>8 years or 125,000 km at ₹13,499 + GST (₹15,929)</li><li>8 years or 100,000 km at ₹10,000</li><li>8 years or 80,000 km at ₹7,300</li><li>5 years or 60,000 km at ₹6000</li></ul> Basic coverage? Just 3 years or 30,000 km. “You’ll hit 30,000 km in a year,” a user noted in a Delhi forum, tying into “ola s1 pro gen 3 mileage.” Showroom pitch in Mumbai: “Ola scooters make you ride more—it’s surprising how fast it adds up.” Community advice for “ola gen 3 price in India”: “Take the ₹6,000 plan—it’s cheaper than a ₹40,000–₹50,000 battery replacement,” per “ola s1 pro gen 3 battery capacity.” Mandatory Services: Added Expenses “Three services are compulsory now,” staff in Bangalore confirmed, each at ₹584 (~₹1,752 total). Covers basics like chain lube or stand repairs. “I broke three stands and got them fixed free,” an old user in Mumbai bragged, but now, “It’s called ‘hyper service,’ and it costs.” Community take on “ola s1x gen 3 specifications”: “If we’re paying, service better be good—some places deliver, others don’t,” per “ola s1x gen 3 features” searches on X Pricing Breakdown: On-Road Reality Queries like “ola s1 pro gen 3 on road price,” “ola s1x gen 3 price,” and “ola s1 pro plus gen 3 price” dominate. Showroom quotes in Delhi:<ul><li>Ola S1 Pro Gen 3: ₹1,29,999 ex-showroom (4 kWh).</li><li>Ola S1X Gen 3: ₹89,999 (3 kWh) or ₹99,999 (4 kWh).</li><li>Plus Variants: Add ₹10,000–₹15,000 (e.g., “ola s1 pro plus gen 3 on road price”).</li></ul> Add warranty, services, and later subscription? “On-road, it’s ₹1.5 lakh to ₹1.7 lakh,” the staff cautioned. Community tale in Bangalore: “Went with ₹1 lakh, they asked for ₹1.8 lakh!” Matches “ola s1x gen 3 4kwh on road price” concerns, per “ola electric gen 3 on road price” searches. Features: Specifications and Locks For “ola s1 pro gen 3 specifications” and “ola gen 3 features,” staff in Mumbai detailed:<ul><li>Battery: 3 kWh/4 kWh options, per “ola s1 pro gen 3 battery capacity.”</li><li>Range: 195 km (S1 Pro 3 kWh, true range ~136 km per community, eco mode at 45 kmph, less in others); 242 km (4 kWh, true range ~169 km); 112 km (S1X 2 kWh, true range ~78 km); 151 km (4 kWh, true range ~105 km), per “ola gen 3 scooter range.”</li><li>Top Speed: 120 kmph (S1 Pro), 90 kmph (S1X), per “ola s1 pro gen 3 top speed.”</li></ul> But hyper/sport modes, ride stats, and mood sounds—key for “ola s1x gen 3 range”—lock post-3 years without renewal. “My neighbor’s scooter has a cool screen, mine’s outdated,” a user lamented in a forum, per “ola s1 pro gen 3 images.” Staff: “Get the plan for lifetime updates,” per “ola gen 3 update.” Subsidy Deadline and Delivery: Act Fast “Right now, you get a ₹10,000 subsidy—drops to ₹5,000 in April,” staff in Delhi revealed, fueling “ola gen 3 delivery date” and “ola s1 pro gen 3 delivery date” buzz. That’s a ₹5,000 hike after March 31, 2025. “Book by then,” users urged, per “ola gen 3 booking” and “ola s1 pro gen 3 booking.” Showroom response: “Deliveries soon—book now,” per “ola gen 3 scooter delivery date.” Ola Care Plus and Battery Costs “Ola Care Plus at ₹3,000 offers roadside help,” staff in Bangalore said, but “ola s1x gen 3 4kwh” fans complained, “They don’t always show up on time.” Smarter move? “₹6,000 warranty beats a ₹40,000 battery swap,” per “ola s1 pro gen 3 battery price,” aligning with “ola gen 3 battery capacity.” Gen 1/Gen 2 Relief: A Temporary Advantage “We don’t need the subscription yet,” Gen 2 owners cheered—no Move OS Plus required, per “ola s1 gen 3 deliveries.” Staff caveat: “The company might roll out an update later,” per “ola gen 3 update.” Verdict: Community vs. Showroom The <a href="https://evindia.online/news/ola-electric-launches-s1-gen3-based-fleet-with-8-new-scooters" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Gen 3 lineup</a>—Ola S1 Pro Gen 3, S1X Gen 3, and Plus models—shines with range, speed, and tech (see “ola s1 pro gen 3 specs”), but subscriptions, warranties, and services hit hard. “They want to squeeze us,” a user sighed, per “ola electric hikes prices of its newly launched s1 pro gen 3 scooters.” Book by March 31, 2025, for “ola s1 pro gen 3 price in India” savings, and grab the ₹6,000 plan. Showroom calls it a deal; community says watch out. “Share this—clear your doubts,” they plead—and we see why.

The worldwide electric vehicle (EV) sales are set to cross the 20 million milestone in 2025, with one in every four cars sold expected to be electric, the International Energy Agency's (IEA) report Global EV Outlook reads.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The annual report released on Wednesday also highlighted that global sales of electric cars have continued to set records as electric models become cheaper, even in the face of current economic challenges that have put strain on the auto industry. In 2024, sales surpassed 17 million worldwide, placing EVs' market share above 20% for the first time, as previously predicted by the IEA. Moreover, sales of electric vehicles increased 35% as compared to the same period in 2025. Sales for the first quarter have already set new records in all major markets.
&nbsp;
The report revealed that China has retained its top position as the EV market leader, with sales of 11 million electric vehicles, accounting for half of the country&rsquo;s total automobile sales. Meanwhile, the USA has shown a 10% year-on-year increase in EV sales, making one in every ten cars sold electric.
&nbsp;
Although the report has not mentioned India particularly, it has mentioned that the total electric car sales in the Asia and Latin America regions have surged by more than 60% in the previous year.&nbsp;However, according to a report by JMK Research, India has sold more than two million EVs in FY25, marking a 15.6 per cent jump from 1.75 million sales in FY2024.
&nbsp;
In Europe, sales remain stagnant at 20% as the government&rsquo;s market support policies and other subsidy schemes have become weaker, the IEA report said.&nbsp;
 IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said, &ldquo;Our data shows that, despite significant uncertainties, electric cars remain on a strong growth trajectory globally. Sales continue to set new records, with major implications for the international auto industry,&rdquo; the IEA website reads.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Citing Birol, the report added that &ldquo;this year, we expect more than one in four cars sold worldwide to be electric, with growth accelerating in many emerging economies. By the end of this decade, it is set to be more than two in five cars as EVs become increasingly affordable.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
Furthermore, the report claims that imported cars account for about one-fifth of global sales of electric vehicles. In 2024, China, which produces over 70% of the world's electric vehicles, exported around 1.25 million of them to other nations. Due to these Chinese imports in the emerging economies, the cost of electric cars has decreased significantly.
&nbsp;
A particular emphasis on electric trucks and their ownership costs is also included in the report. The report says that the sales of electric trucks rose by around 80% globally last year, making up nearly 2% of all truck sales. Some heavy-duty electric trucks in China are more cost-competitive than their diesel counterparts, with the electric versions' significantly reduced operating costs compensating for their higher purchase prices. This helped to promote the growth brought about by an increase in EV sales in China.

India has sold more than two million EVs in FY25, marking a 15.6 per cent jump from 1.75 million sales in FY2024.

With the upcoming launch of the Harrier.ev and Sierra.ev,&nbsp; Tata Motors is expecting to revive its passenger EV sales following the recent decline by 10% in FY25, the company&rsquo;s CFO, PB Balaji, said on Tuesday
&nbsp;
Citing Balaji, PTI reported, "Tata Motors sold about 65,000 units (of EVs) this year (FY25), which was about 10 per cent lower than what we sold last year (FY24)." He further added that the decline in the company&rsquo;s sales was due to the withdrawal of the FAME II subsidy and some other challenges faced by the fleet operators.
&nbsp;
He added that Tata Motors is looking for ways to reverse the decline in fleet sales as a percentage of total EV sales.
&nbsp;
According to the PTI, Balaji said, "We are getting the momentum back in terms of numbers, and we hope to do pretty strongly in the coming year, and the product pipelines are accordingly positioned. The product formats are accordingly positioned, and we hope to start FY26 on a strong note".
&nbsp;
"With more and more competition coming in, the EVs are slowly becoming a conversation that people would want to engage in," Balaji added in reference to the growing rivalry in the Indian EV industry. Another indication that the company is performing well is the fact that they are still the biggest company in the EV industry.
&nbsp;
According to Balajai, the company is also going to establish almost 21,000 fast charging networks. He said, "We believe we are on the right track with respect to continuing to drive leadership in this particular segment," PTI reported.
&nbsp;
In response to a question regarding Tata Motors' total capital expenditures for FY26, he stated that there will be no significant changes from FY25. The group's capital expenditures for Tata Motors and JLR in FY25 were around Rs 8,400 crore and 3.8 billion pounds, respectively.
&nbsp;
According to Balaji, the Tata Motors group made the largest investment in history in FY25, at about Rs 48,000 crore, and achieved record profits, "landing at almost Rs 4.4 lakh crore."
&nbsp;

Tata Motors sold about 65,000 units (of EVs) this year (FY25), which was about 10 per cent lower than what we sold last year (FY24).

Tata Motors aims to rebound EV sales after recording 10% dip in FY25

The much-anticipated entry of <a href="../electric-vehicle-companies/ola-electric-ev">Ola Electric</a> into the electric motorcycle segment continues to be plagued by delays, with the company recently announcing its fourth postponement for the delivery of its flagship Roadster X model. This latest shift casts a long shadow over the burgeoning electric two-wheeler market and raises serious questions about Ola's execution capabilities and its ability to capitalise on the rapidly growing demand for electric motorcycles in India.
Originally slated for a late 2024 launch following its unveiling in August 2023, the Ola Roadster X has seen its delivery timeline repeatedly pushed back. After initial promises of a January 2025 arrival, followed by a revised March target, and then an April expectation, the company's most recent stock exchange filing on April 30, 2025, now indicates that deliveries will commence sometime in May 2025. This lack of a specific delivery date within the current month further fuels speculation and uncertainty among eager customers and industry observers alike regarding the Ola electric bike's launch.
A Timeline of Tribulations:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Late 2024: Initial broad timeline indicated for market introduction following concept unveilings in August 15, 2023 (Sankalp Event) and pre-reservations opening during September 21-24, 2023 (MotoGP Bharat Showcase).
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
January 2025: First official delivery target for Roadster X following the official launch on August 15, 2024 (Sankalp 2024).
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
March 2025: Second delivery delay announced for Roadster X during its "official launch" event on February 5, 2025.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
April 2025: Third postponement for Roadster X deliveries.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
May 2025: Current delivery window, with no specific start date announced (April 30, 2025 stock exchange filing).
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
January 2026: Revised delivery expectation for the premium Roadster Pro variant, significantly pushed back from its initial Diwali 2025 target.
</li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr">Behind the Brake Lights: Technical Snags Suspected in Ola's Electric Bike?</h2>
While Ola Electric has consistently pointed to homologation issues as the primary cause for these delays, whispers within the industry suggest that deeper technical challenges may be at play with their electric two-wheeler. Reports have surfaced highlighting potential problems with critical components, including the battery pack (particularly Ola's in-house 4680 cells), the thermal management system, the Battery Management System (BMS), and the electric motor. These fundamental issues could be hindering the Roadster from meeting the rigorous safety and performance standards required for regulatory approval in India.
<h3 dir="ltr">Impact on Ola's Trajectory: A Rocky Road Ahead for the EV Maker?</h3>
The repeated delays are beginning to take a toll on Ola Electric's standing in the market. Customer trust is likely to be eroding with each missed deadline, potentially impacting the brand's reputation for reliability in the Indian electric vehicle sector. Financially, the company has faced a credit rating downgrade and reports of waning investor confidence, casting a shadow over its ambitious growth plans, including a much-anticipated Initial Public Offering (IPO).
Furthermore, the delay provides a significant advantage to competitors already present in the electric motorcycle market, allowing them to solidify their market share without direct competition from Ola's much-hyped offering. The company's past challenges with its electric scooter deliveries also contribute to a narrative of potential execution issues.
Adding to the complexity, Ola Electric has come under regulatory scrutiny for its sales reporting practices, specifically the inclusion of pre-booked but undelivered Roadster X units in its sales figures. This has triggered inquiries from key government bodies, further complicating the company's path forward in the Indian EV market.

The manufacturer of the Apple iPhones, Foxconn, is planning to develop electric vehicles for Mitsubishi Motors, BBC reported
Under the signed agreement, Foxconn will design and manufacture electric cars for the Japanese giants in Taiwan.
According to the report, the new model should be available by the end of next year. This would be Foxconn's first significant deal in the fiercely competitive and rapidly expanding EV market.
Mainland Chinese competitors have become a bigger competitor to Japanese automakers like Mitsubishi, especially in Southeast Asian, South American, and European markets.

The metal arm of the Aditya Birla Group, Hindalco Industries, has delivered 10,000 aluminium battery enclosures to Mahindra for its next generation of electric SUVs, the BE 6 and XEV 9e. The announcement was made in conjunction with the opening of Hindalco's new EV component production facility in Pune's Chakan, a major automotive centre.
&nbsp;
With an expenditure of ₹500 crore, the plant marks Hindalco's foray into the production of EV parts. The five-acre facility, which produces aluminium battery enclosures that are lightweight and crash-resistant, can produce 80,000 units a year, with plans to expand that number to 160,000. There are currently more than 3,000 Mahindra EVs on Indian roads that have these battery cages installed.
&nbsp;
Citing Satish Pai, Managing Director of Hindalco Industries, the Machine Maker reported, &ldquo;This Chakan plant marks a shift towards localised, high-performance aluminium solutions for the EV sector. Our partnership with Mahindra reflects our shared vision for cleaner mobility and reinforces India&rsquo;s transition to electric vehicles.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
The co-developed battery enclosures are up to 40% lighter than traditional steel-based alternatives since they are constructed of low-carbon aluminium. Better crash resistance, enhanced thermal management for battery systems, and an 8&ndash;10% increase in driving range are all results of this reduction.
&nbsp;
In addition to its technological innovation, the new Chakan plant promotes the "Make in India" movement, which aims to create up to 1,000 jobs and lessen dependency on imports. The facility's almost entirely female machine operator crew is a noteworthy feature, which is a rare yet forward-thinking development in the manufacturing industry.
&nbsp;
In the future, Hindalco intends to provide other domestic and international automakers with comparable aluminium-based components. In addition to battery enclosures, the company's future product line will comprise structural and safety-critical components for both conventional and electric vehicles.
&nbsp;
The expansion of giga-factories and domestic cell production in India is expected to increase demand for battery-grade aluminium as the country's electric vehicle ecosystem grows. A forward-thinking strategy to address the changing demands of the mobility industry is demonstrated by Hindalco's investment in this area.

Customers who purchased MG Windsor EVs on or before December 31, 2024, are now eligible for complimentary fast charging, according to revised terms and conditions from JSW MG Motor India. The new agreement now places a strict 1,000-unit cap on the owners of those vehicles, who were previously exempt from the maximum restriction. The revised terms and conditions were implemented on February 7, 2025. Before the change, the terms and conditions mentioned that "there could be limitations or restrictions" on the number of units that could be used, but they did not specify a cap. Additionally, the original terms and conditions mentioned that MG could change or cancel the offer at any time without giving notice. MG Motor India has clarified that the 1,000-unit balance would not be reduced for customers who previously used fast chargers. This will be the case for early owners moving forward. &nbsp;According to the corporation, the goal of the revised policy was to prevent early buyers from abusing the free charge. The new regulations also sought to increase the vehicle's battery life by lowering the need for quick charging. Overuse of DC rapid charging can shorten the battery's useful life more quickly than standard AC charging. “MG is dedicated to making electric vehicle (EV) ownership accessible and has led several initiatives to support this mission, such as providing complimentary home chargers, installation of public and community chargers, developing a unified charging platform and introducing free public charging for MG Windsor EV customers for a limited time. However, to address increasing instances of usage that exceed our fair usage policy and risk the health of the battery due to non-recommended charging practices, we are updating a new public charging usage limit. This adjustment allows us to continue providing charging on a fair usage basis while preventing misuse and ensuring equitable access for all eligible MG Windsor EV owners, enhancing the overall charging experience,” the company said in a statement. Additionally, the business has requested that users consult the owner's manual for their car "for best practices related to battery health and longevity, including mindful use of DC fast charging." With a 38 kWh battery pack, the new free fast charging offer would allow customers to charge around 26 times during the first year of purchase, from 0% to 100%. Therefore, assuming a 300 km real-world range on a full charge, customers could go up to 7,800 km for free.

As the top tyre manufacturer prepares for the transition from internal combustion engines (ICE) to <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">electric vehicles</a>, MRF Ltd. said that it is working on new technologies to launch a variety of electric vehicle (EV) tyres. "The company will manage the challenges posed by the transition to electric and other automobiles”. In answer to inquiries from shareholders during the business's 62nd annual general meeting, KM Mammen, chairman and managing director of the company, stated that technologies are being developed and breakthroughs have been achieved to support the EV industry. He said that among other features, the EV tyres from MRF will have meagre rolling resistance, high grip, wear resistance, and noise reduction. Thanks to these characteristics in EV tyres, the business is optimistic about establishing a solid presence in the EV industry.&nbsp; Along with participating in collaborative R&amp;D projects, Mammen added that the firm was investing in R&amp;D. "Outside of capital expenditures, the corporation spends roughly Rs. 100 crore annually on R&amp;D operations. Additionally, the business conducts R&amp;D initiatives in collaboration with universities and research organisations in India and overseas," he continued. Developing innovative goods, finding substitute raw materials, and making our products ecologically friendly are the goals of the R&amp;D projects. As battery-powered vehicles will need distinct features, including lower rolling resistance, Indian tyre firms have been concentrating on R&amp;D to produce a new variety of tyres for electric vehicles. According to research by Crisil, the tyre industry's R&amp;D spending would more than double to $151 million from $64 million, having increased thrice over the previous five fiscal years. Cost, range ambiguity, and battery safety concerns are the main barriers to EV adoption, but consumer enthusiasm is growing. Despite difficulties, the market for electric vehicles is anticipated to develop steadily as sales of EVs are anticipated to increase by 25% in this calendar year, providing a ray of hope in an otherwise difficult sector. The top three producers of tyres for <a href="https://evindia.online/scooter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">two-wheelers</a> in the nation are MRF, <a href="https://evindia.online/company/tvs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">TVS</a> Srichakra, and Ceat. Both TVS Srichakra and Ceat have previously introduced a selection of tyres for electric two-wheelers, with TVS Srichakra holding the most E2W OEM certifications. Additionally, MRF has created a tubeless tyre for electric scooters. Regarding capacity utilisation, Mammen claimed there was an opportunity for the business to develop. The replacement market, OEM supplies, and institutional sales account for around 92% of the company's 23,261 crores (consolidated revenue), with the replacement sector accounting for a sizeable portion. Exports account for the remaining 8%.

The Union government is developing comprehensive software that will enable <a href="www.evindia.online" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">EV</a> users in India to find the closest charging station on a map. According to an Economic Times story, the Centre thinks this will allay owners' range worries and open the door for greater uptake of EVs. A meeting between Niti Aayog and the companies running public EV charging stations took place on June 7. They spoke about releasing the app's beta version as soon as possible, according to the report. Users may use this app to discover the closest charging station, pay bills, and reserve spaces in advance. The Centre will run the app, with ADB providing funding. Since most charging stations are controlled by several businesses, each of which has its own special app, this poses one of the biggest obstacles for EV customers today. The difficulties faced by EV users looking for local charging stations are only made worse by the fact that these applications are incompatible with one another. Convergence Energy Services Ltd (CESL), a government-run company, had before proposed a similar single app. However, due to a lack of sources and the necessary information, things did not turn out as expected. It should be emphasised that participants at the Niti Aayog meeting also raised concerns about user data privacy and sharing confidential information with outside parties when the app is released. Industry sources have expressed worries about losing market share to rivals. In the meantime, Niti Aayog has acknowledged these worries and advised the industry professionals to collaborate closely with the government and come up with a workable solution as soon as possible. As of May 5, 2023, 7,013 charging stations are in use in India, according to The Bureau of Energy Efficiency. Additionally, Phase-2 of the FAME plan has committed Rs 1,000 crore for the development of charging infrastructure across India. The Centre has approved 2,877 charging stations in 68 Indian cities. In the meanwhile, under FAME Phase-2 has also been approved, with 1,576 charging stations on 16 routes and 9 motorways. Also, Oil companies recently got an allotment of Rs 800 crore to install 22,000 fast chargers at petrol pumps.
