Ola S1 range of electric scooter models have finally received the much-awaited MoveOS3 software update which brings to life several key promises that Ola Electric has been making for quite some time now. While a number of the new updates put the focus on the fun aspect of the electric scooter model, there are also several key convenience options, the biggest being the Hypercharger network now available for quick power ups.The Ola MoveOS 3 software update was rolled out late last week, just before Christmas, and to the S1 and S1 Pro models. And there's much to look forward to. Here's a quick review of the feature updates brought about by MoveOS 3 on the Ola S1 and S1 Pro models: Watch: Ola Move OS 3: Key feature updatesHypercharging This is the biggest highlight of MoveOS 3 and the claim of lightining quick charging is now available for testing. Although the network of Ola Hyperchargers are still limited - there are just three in Delhi at the time of this test ride, does it make sense to go around hunting for one?Ola claims that just 15 minutes of charging can add around 50 kms to the range of the S1 electric scooters. We took our test unit to one such installation at a BPCL fuel station in Delhi's Connaught Place.For now, hypercharging is free of cost and is on a plug-and-charge basis. We plugged it in with the range left at 80 kms and after 20 minutes, had bumped the figure up to 100 kms. We observed that charging is faster when the charge left is lower than 70% and as such, it can be a great option during emergency-based requirements.Proximity Lock and UnlockOla electric scooters do not have a physical key
