With this certification, Ola Electric will now begin deliveries of the Roadster X+ (9.1kWh), marking a significant milestone as it becomes the first electric motorcycle in India to be certified with a completely in-house developed 4680 Bharat Cell battery pack, the company said in a statement.
“The Roadster X+ 9.1kWh sets a new benchmark in electric motor cycling with an industry-leading range of up to 500 km, enabled by the high energy density and advanced thermal performance of Ola’s homegrown 4680 Bharat Cell technology, making long-distance and inter-city riding practical beyond urban centres,” it said.
The Roadster X+ opened up electric motor cycling for riders beyond metros to Tier-2 and -3 markets, where longer distances and limited charging infrastructure had traditionally been barriers to EV adoption, the company said.
Ola Electric spokesperson said, “The government certification of the Roadster X+ is a major milestone in Ola Electric’s journey towards building end-to-end EV technology in India. With the certification of the Roadster X+ (9.1 kWh), Ola Electric has now extended the use of its in-house developed 4680 Bharat Cell technology across its two-wheeler portfolio, spanning both electric scooters and motorcycles.”
