Ola Gen 3 Platform: Improvements And Enhancements
Ola Electric has teased its new e-scooter platform called Gen 3. The upcoming platform which is being developed for the future Ola e-scooters including commuter, touring, and sporty models. Ola is focusing on multiple factors while developing the new platform for its e-scooters.
From better battery cells to improved motor pack and electronics, the Ola Gen 3 will be a high-performance setup for the future E2Ws. The powertrain setup is said to become more compact yet efficient by utilizing an integrated “Inside the Box” setup combining motor, battery, and electronics.
The Ola Gen 3 Platform will be doing away with the existing 2170 battery cell setup and replace it with new 4689 li-Ion cell packs. The new battery pack being larger in diameter will be capable of storing extra juice for longer range delivery. Also, the newer battery module with higher energy density will also have improved thermal efficiency making them more secure.
Additionally, the Ola Gen 3 platform will come sans the permanent magnet motors and rather feature magnetized electrical coils. This magnetless motor setup is said to offer improved torque figures which essentially means better powertrain overall.
As for the electronics, the Gen 3 Platform will be combining BMS (Battery Management System) and MCU (Motor Control Unit) with a single high-performance multi-core processor. The primary ECU compartment (CCU) board is said to be compatible with advanced safety features such as ADAS.
