Ola plans to enter e-rickshaw segment with Raahi, diversifying its portfolio to meet eco-friendly transport demand.
Ola’s upcoming electric autorickshaw, Raahi, is set to compete with established players like Mahindra Treo, Piaggio Ape e-city, and Bajaj RE in the three-wheeler segment.
Designed to offer a sustainable and affordable mode of transportation, Raahi is expected to be released by the end of this month.
Ola has been diligently working on the development of Raahi for several years, aiming to penetrate the commercial vehicle market with its electric offerings.
With a focus on innovation and sustainability, Ola aims to revolutionize urban mobility and reduce carbon emissions through its electric vehicles.
The pricing of Ola’s electric autorickshaw is expected to be competitive, aligning with the price range of its counterparts in the market.
Electric three-wheelers from Bajaj, Mahindra, and Piaggio typically range between Rs 2 lakh and Rs 3.5 lakh, catering to different customer preferences and budgets.
Ola Electric is gearing up to launch its Initial Public Offering (IPO) following the release of Raahi. The company aims to raise significant capital to strengthen its position in the electric vehicle market, particularly in the two-wheeler segment.
In addition to launching Raahi, Ola Electric is ramping up its infrastructure development efforts. The company plans to set up 10,000 charging points by the end of the next quarter, ensuring convenient access to charging facilities for electric vehicle owners.
Moreover, Ola will expand its service center network and offer portable fast chargers to enhance the overall ownership experience.
Ola Electric is also investing in the establishment of a gigafactory to manufacture battery cells, further bolstering its electric vehicle production capabilities.
With plans to allocate a significant portion of the IPO proceeds towards the gigafactory, Ola aims to scale up production and meet the growing demand for electric vehicles in the market.
Ola’s entry into the e-rickshaw segment with Raahi signifies a significant step towards promoting sustainable mobility solutions in India. With a strong focus on innovation, affordability, and infrastructure development, Ola Electric plans to reshape the future of urban transportation in the country.
