The Ola Scooter has already won several prestigious awards including the IHS Markit Innovation award at CES and the German Design Award. The Ola vehicle engineering team has been testing the Ola Scooter extensively for the last few months, where the Scooter has returned best-in-class range, speed and performance. Recently, the Ola Hypercharger Network was unveiled which will be the largest and densest network, spread over 400 cities with more than 100,000 charging points in India. In the first year alone, Ola is setting up over 5,000 charging points across 100 cities in India, more than double the existing charging infrastructure in the country.
