Ola Electric Cuts Roadster 9.1 Price: At a time when companies are raising vehicle prices in early April, Ola Electric has announced some good news for its customers. The company has significantly reduced the price of its popular electric bike – the Ola Roadster X+ 9.1. The company began producing its indigenous battery cell, the 4680 Bharat Cell, in December last year and began using it in its vehicles. As cell production has ramped up, cost efficiencies have improved materially, allowing Ola Electric to pass on these benefits directly to customers.
The Roadster 9.1 kWh will now be priced at Rs 1,29,999, down from Rs 1,89,999 earlier, and will only be available in limited units during a specific purchase period.
"Ola Electric will transition from open sales of Roadster X+ 9.1 kWh to a limited purchase window model, with vehicles made available in specific time-bound slots and limited quantities," the company informed.
The first purchase window will open on Friday, April 3, from 6 PM to 9 PM, with subsequent windows to be announced periodically based on production availability.
Commenting on the announcement, an Ola Electric spokesperson said, "As production of our 4680
Bharat Cell scales, we are able to unlock significant cost efficiencies and pass them on directly to customers. The response to the Roadster has been extremely strong - the bike demand during our
#EndICEAge campaign has grown more than 5X, and this new pricing makes long range electric mobility even more accessible. To accelerate India’s transition away from ICE and oil, we are doubling down on batteries and domestic manufacturing."
According to Ola Electric, the company's flagship electric motorcycle uses 4680 Bharat cells. Because these are indigenous battery cells, their cost is lower than that of imported batteries. Therefore, the company has reduced the price of the bike and passed this benefit on to customers. According to the company, cell production has increased rapidly, and cost efficiency has improved.
The company has passed these benefits on to its customers.
