Ola Electric Starts Mass Deliveries of S1 Pro+ With In‑House 4680 ‘Bharat Cell’

The company touts full in-house battery manufacturing to signal a push for domestic EV leadership.

Overview

  • Ola says deliveries are in full swing, making the S1 Pro+ the first scooter shipping with its indigenously built 4680 Bharat Cell.
  • The company asserts it is India’s first to fully own both battery cell and pack manufacturing in-house.
  • The 5.2 kWh S1 Pro+ features a 13 kW motor, 0–40 km/h in 2.1 seconds, a claimed 320 km range, and four riding modes.
  • Safety equipment includes dual ABS with discs front and rear, alongside comfort and styling updates such as a two‑tone seat, body-coloured mirrors, and a die‑cast aluminium grab handle.
  • The rollout follows a year of declining sales—7,567 units in November—and a reported exit by investor Z47, with no independent evidence yet of a market rebound.
