“The end of ice age is closer to being a reality than ever before. From 4,000 units a month before our entry into electric mobility, EVs now stand for 15 percent of the entire scooter segment, and in cities like Delhi, Bengaluru and Pune, is even higher at 40 percent of the new scooter sales. To truly end the era of ice vehicles, India’s EV revolution has to become a mass movement, and the S1 Air is a significant step in that direction,” said Ola CEO and founder Bhavish Aggarwal as per media reports.
