The electric vehicle industry is only growing, and Ola Electric brought to the market this time an electric scooter that costs less than R$ 10 with a range of 180 km.
Electric motorcycles have enormous potential to become more popular than electric cars due to their much lower production and maintenance costs. In India, the Ola S1 was recently launched, an electric scooter that has a range of 181 km and a top speed of 115 km/h. What makes it attractive to the market is its value, which only reaches R$ 9, a price much lower than several combustion motorcycles existing in Brazil.
