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
