Ola Electric CEO Bhavish Aggarwal announced that its electric scooter has received around 1 lakh bookings within the first 24 hours of opening of pre-launch bookings.
“India’s EV revolution is off to an explosive start. Huge thanks to the 100,000+ revolutionaries who’ve joined us and reserved their scooter,” Aggarwal said on Twitter.
Ola Electric had announced the opening of bookings on July 15 at a token amount of Rs 499 on its official website.
“I am thrilled by the tremendous response from customers across India for our first electric vehicle. The unprecedented demand is a clear indicator of shifting consumer preferences to EVs,” Aggarwal added.
The new Ola electric scooter is likely to go on sale in the country later this month.
