      @TheFourthWinchester 3 роки тому +12

      Very simple.
      How much is localization? 99%
      How much is the cost of the battery? 60% of the total cost borne by us for the scooter.
      Do you make the batteries too? No, its Korean..
      Very simple math in his head.

    Do we have a charging port standard for EVs in India ?

    We need one single standard port for EVs just like we have in petrol based vehicles

    Heard the unveiling was a disaster and was filled with confusion and mistakes...they apparently changed their 0-40kph time to match Ola's when initially they had given a different time and also used Ather's front dash screen image as their own in the presentation.. they also apparently changed the power output figures to match Ola's figure..

    I have 4 questions 😁👉
    1- Is it completely waterproof?
    2- Can we charge it with normal electric socket?
    3- How many years does its battery work properly and where and how can it be replaced in case of problem? And how much can it cost?
    4- How much is its loading capacity, because scooty is not used for sitting only one person in a normal Indian society , and sometimes in the empty space in front of the seat, we keep heavy things.

    Design wise this scooter really stands out ,looks sturdy ,modern ,elegant .Ola scooter looks very fragile and compact . If it's range & power remains on par or even slightly less then also this scooter will make a strong case for itself in the fray of electric two wheelers.

    • @Mystical.Spirit
      @Mystical.Spirit 3 роки тому +3

      Both Ola S1 & Simple One come with fibre bodies. Looks are pretty subjective, and a lot many people have loved Ola's clean, uncluttered design. And Ola S1 is definitely not compact though in the ads it may give the illusion of being scooty like in size.. It's a proper full sized scooter & can stand up to Simple One.
