From low running costs to ever-evolving features and performance, EVs are a game-changer
Electric mobility has been gaining popularity in the Indian market, and some EV makers are now even outselling ICE manufacturers. Here’s our take on how EVs are enhancing the two-wheelers:
Lighter On The Pocket
With the soaring fuel prices, electric two-wheelers are making commuting more affordable. Be it regular commutes or even delivery-oriented businesses, EVs are turning out to be a cheaper alternative of transport compared to ICE counterparts. And to top that off, these silent machines require minimal maintenance to keep them in optimal running condition.

An Ever-improving Product
Thanks to Over-The-Air (OTA) updates, your electric two-wheeler is constantly getting enhanced, be it with more features or improvements to the performance. So, you are essentially buying a product that is constantly improving, unlike ICE products where the only way to “upgrade” is buying a new one.
Tech-savvy Commuters
Until a few years ago, having a touchscreen TFT instrument console with features like navigation would have seemed like a far-fetched idea, but that’s not the case anymore. The humble means of commuting now brag of features like phone connectivity, speakers, ride modes and even music control and speakers.
More Storage
The lack of fuel tank means there’s additional storage space compared to ICE products. So, there’s more room for groceries. The Ola S1 boasts the largest underseat storage amongst two-wheelers in India at 36 litres.
