What Went Wrong with Ola Electric? In 2021, Ola Electric positioned itself as the “Tesla of India.” With over 100,000 orders for the S1 Pro within 24 hours, Bhavish Aggarwal’s vision of a sleek, software-driven scooter ecosystem looked like the future on wheels. But what followed was a harsh reality check: 1. Scooters catching fire 2. Battery drainage issues 3. App malfunctions & shutdowns 4. Weak service network 5. Toxic work culture and employee resignations Despite ola delivering 250,000+ scooters and announcing new models, the core issues of quality, reliability, and customer trust still haunt the brand. What went wrong? 1. Rushed production and poor build quality 2. Over-promising futuristic tech with little readiness 3. No strong after-sales infrastructure 4. Culture driven by pressure over precision Compared to Ather, Ola focused more on speed than sustainability — and that cost them dearly. Have you had an experience with Ola Electric or other EVs?
