During the ‘Ola Customer Day’ event at its ‘hyperfactory’ in Tamil Nadu, Ola Electric teased what could be its first attempt in making a full-electric car. The official teasers of Ola Electric car released by its CEO Bhavish Aggarwal show what the car will look like.
Details from the teaser images
The teasers give us a hint that the upcoming first-ever Ola electric car will be a D-segment sedan. This car will roughly be the size of a Volkswagen Virtus or Honda City but will have an all-electric powertrain. The teasers hint toward the concept design, in which we can see a smooth-flowing silhouette and roofline. It shows that the upcoming car will shape into a D-segment sedan.
The teaser images also reveal a wide connected LED bar at the front, which engulfs LED headlamps on the sides. Even the rear profile of the Ola Electric car has a similar-looking LED light bar illuminated in red. There are illuminated ‘Ola’ logos – a white logo on the hood and a red logo on the boot.
In addition to the silhouettes of the concept teasers released, Bhavish Aggarwal also tweeted an additional image confirming this insight. In this image, we can see a pixelated image of a blue-coloured car on a TV screen.
Expected mechanical details
Apart from these minuscule design highlights, Ola Electric has not taken off covers from further details. No other details related to the battery and motor setups, interior highlights and features came out yet. Though, this all-electric car might have a big and powerful battery in the range of 70-80 kWh. This battery pack might offer a best-in-class range and performance outputs.
However, the company has indicated that more details will get revealed at a public event scheduled for 15th August. The date also happens to mark the first anniversary of the Ola S1 Pro, the first-ever product from Ola Electric. Though, the CEO has hinted that this first-ever Ola Electric car will hit the roads by the end of 2023.
The Ola S1 Pro gained a lot of wanted and unwanted attention to date. Citing this, it will be interesting to see how this new Ola Electric car shapes up. Given the promising specifications and dimensions of a D-segment sedan, this car will certainly not be a cheap offering. We expect this new electric car to arrive in the range of Rs 20-25 lakh. At this price, will this all-new electric car gain immense attention and acceptance like the S1 Pro scooter? Only time will tell.
