Ola Leads the Electric 2W Sales in February 2023; Sells 17,667 S1 Units

Ola Electric, one of the popular EV manufacturers in India, had a productive start to 2023. The company sold 18,282 units in January 2023, which is a commendable sales figure. This shows how enthusiastically Indian consumers have adopted Ola Electric's products. The automaker's success in February 2023 surpasses all other EV manufacturers, which is quite impressive, considering the dominance of multiple well-known companies in the Indian EV sector, including Honda, Hero Electric, Bajaj, and TVS. When its most affordable model, the S1 Air, starts arriving on Indian roads, these sales figures will probably increase in the coming months.
