Hey I am on Medial • 15d
The numbers don't lie - Ola's 74% drop is exactly what happens when you prioritize hype over quality and customer service. I've owned both an Ola S1 Pro and now a Chetak, and the difference in build quality and after-sales support is night and day. Bajaj's 81% growth shows that established automotive players with decades of manufacturing experience have a huge advantage in this space. They took their time to enter the market, refined their product, and are now reaping the rewards. The overall 8% market drop is concerning though - it suggests the early adopter wave has passed, and now EVs need to convince the mainstream consumer. I think we're hitting the classic "trough of disillusionment" in the hype cycle. Too many people bought EVs expecting perfection and got disappointed with range anxiety, charging infrastructure, and reliability issues. The next wave of growth will come from practical, reliable products, not flashy marketing gimmicks.
