Ola Electric has begun mass deliveries of electric two-wheelers powered by its indigenously developed 4680 Bharat Cell.
Product Rollout
The S1 Pro+ (5.2 kWh) is the first model to use the in-house battery pack, which the company claims offers higher range, better performance, and improved safety. With this rollout, Ola says it has become the first Indian company to fully own both battery pack and cell manufacturing.
“With the national rollout starting soon, we are now ready to take this breakthrough product and technology to every corner of the country,” an Ola Electric spokesperson said.
Strategic Significance
Founder Bhavish Aggarwal had first outlined plans to integrate in-house lithium-ion cells into Ola scooters by early 2025, but the project faced repeated delays. In November, Ola started deliveries of the S1 Pro+ powered by the 4680 Bharat Cell produced at its Tamil Nadu Gigafactory. The company, which sells a range of S1 scooters and Roadster X motorcycles, aims to eventually equip its entire portfolio with in-house cells to reduce costs.
