Ola Electric Mobility Pvt. plans to scale up test rides of its electric two-wheelers to more than 1,000 cities and towns from nine currently in what it says is India’s largest such EV initiative.
Initially, the test rides will be open only for those who have purchased or reserved the company’s Ola S1 and S1 Pro scooters, Ola Electric said in a statement. The firm, backed by SoftBank Group Corp and Tiger Global Management, aims to open test rides to all its customers by Dec. 15.
