Ola Electric fast-tracks Gen3 product launch to January 2025
Ola Electric has decided to fast-track the launch of its Gen3 platform-based electric scooters to January 2025, instead of the previously announced timeline of mid-March to April next year.

The Ola Electric Gen3 platform will bring a host of innovations including a new magnetless motor, single board electronics, and using the battery as a stressed member on the chassis. The company further said that moving the Gen3 platform, showcased in August this year, will help reduce the bill of materials (BOM) costs by 20 per cent over the next 12 months, while increasing overall performance by 26 per cent.
