Ola Electric Mobility Solutions was launched in May 2017 in Nagpur. The idea was to develop electric infrastructure by not just increasing modes of electric transportation but also setting up charging infrastructure by means of charging and battery swap stations and solar rooftop installations. Ola Electric Mobility Solutions have multiple modes of transport in the form of e-rickshaws, electric cars and electric buses. Currently, the company has over 200 electric vehicles in its fleet and is running pilot projects in Nagpur, Gurugram and Bengaluru. As part of its Mission Electric initiative, Ola Electric plans to have a million electric vehicles in its fleet across India by the year 2021.  Check out the entire list of electric bikes and scooters sold in India here.
