As seen in the teaser, the electric car has a clean profile with one strong character line down the middle, based on what is shown in the video. It also doesn't appear to have a door for the second row, which raises the question of whether it will be a two-seater model or feature standard rear seats. Furthermore, it will have a glass roof, like the Tesla electric cars.


Ola Electric Car: Features


An electric car has to be loaded with features, and Ola's offering will not miss out on much. It is expected to come with features like keyless entry, advanced ADAS safety tech, a large touchscreen infotainment unit, an all-digital instrument console, MoveOS, handle-free doors and more.

The upcoming electric car from Ola is claimed to deliver a range of over 500 km on a full charge. Also, it will be deployed with a locally-developed and produced lithium-ion battery pack, which is coupled with a drag coefficient of 0.21 Cd. The performance of the Ola electric car will be thrilling as well, with a claimed 0-100 kmph timing of only 4 seconds.


Ola Electric Car: Launch Date


Earlier, Aggarwal posted a video of Ola's impending electric car on Twitter. In the video, a red car is running on a road with only its rear wheels visible. "Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost. See you on August 15, 2pm," Aggarwal wrote. This time around, Aggarwal confirmed that the electric car will go on sale by the year 2024.


Ola Electric Car: Price


For the pricing, Bhavish Aggarwal gave a hint in the video. He mentioned that an average electric car in a developed market costs roughly USD 70,000, whereas in India, it is only USD 25,000. Hence it is easy to understand that Ola could price its electric car in a range of Rs 15-20 lakh only.
