Next Ola S1 Pro owner is Jigar Bharda who managed to achieve 303 km on a single charge in the scooter. He has put the developments of this experiment in a much more detailed manner. He started the ride at 1.00 am in the morning with 100 percent charge. 12.11 pm he updates that the non-stop rain, cool weather and cruise control has helped him in achieving a good range. He had covered 185 km in Normal and 64 percent of the battery was still left. He also mentions that he rarely used brakes and utilised regen most of the time. He was also not using Bluetooth and the brightness of the screen was also very low. All these things drain energy which affects the range. At 6.27 Pm, he managed to finish his 17 hr long drive with 4 percent charge remaining. He even switched between the drive modes during the experiment.
The Ola S1 Pro electric scooter has a claimed range of 180 km and here we have customers who have managed over 300 km. Ola Electric’s CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal has not responded to the tweets yet.
