With the increasing market of electric vehicles, it becomes essential to realize the costs of having an electric scooter. Prospective buyers intending to buy an Ola electric scooter can find out the cost of the battery replacement when the battery gets depleted. Below is a breakdown of the cost of battery replacement for Ola scooters categorised under each area of cost.
Battery Replacement Costs
Ola currently has 3 electric scooter models: Ola S1 X, Ola S1 Air, and Ola S1 Pro. The battery integrated in each model is of high performance, but the cost of replacing the battery is quite important.
So against the Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 scooter, which has a lithium-ion battery pack of 4 kWh composed of 224 cells, the cost comes around ₹87,000 for replacement. The amount stated above does not include GST which will be charged on a separate line. The battery is sourced from LG Chem South Korea and is IP 67 compliant and thus is protected from both water and dust.
Warranty and Longevity
Ola offers a three years warranty on the battery of the car with an option of an additional warranty of five years at an extra charge. The battery also has a very long life expectancy of about 7 years, hence more reliable in way of performance. This extended warranty, as well as the long battery duration which helps in efficiency of the scooter, are other addition values that make this scooter valuable.
Making an Informed Decision
Knowing the replacement cost and warranty period enable one to determine the affordability of the Ola scooter. Being equipped with the latest technologies, and demonstrating high indicators of performance, the Ola S1 Pro is still one of the industry’s bestsellers. But at least it might help a person who is thinking of buying an automobile, to be aware of the maintenance costs of a certain model.
