Ola Electric has created a record of sorts by receiving over 1 lakh reservations for its first ever electric scooter in less than 24 hours since pre-bookings opened. Interested customers can log on to the company website and book the scooter for Rs. 499. The booking amount is fully refundable. With bookings now open, we believe the scooter is likely to be launched in the coming weeks, most probably this month itself. The surprising bit is that between January and June 2021, the total sales of electric two-wheelers in India stood at 30,000 units. The company says that it continues to receive unprecedented demand for the Ola electric scooter.
