Electric two-wheeler segment in India saw its best month ever in October. With the headwind of festive fervour, the EV two-wheeler manufacturers clocked more than 75,000 unit sales last month, nearly 30 per cent more than what they sold during the festive month last year. It is also significantly higher than the September sales number, which was the highest ever till October. The surge in EV two-wheeler sales last month was led by Ola Electric and Okinawa Autotech. Here is a look at the top five electric two-wheeler brands in India as per the October sales.
Ola Electric
Ola Electric has bounced back as the number one electric two-wheeler manufacturer in India. October was the second consecutive month when Ola has topped the list. The Tamil Nadu-based EV maker claims it has sold 20,000 units of its S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters, a record for the company since it launched the models back in August 2021. However, according to the Vahan portal, Ola sold only 15,065 units. Either way, Ola clearly remains miles ahead of others in the EV two-wheeler space.
