Ola Electric’s CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal, posted a teaser about the February 9, 2023 event from the company. In the teaser, Bhavish asks the viewers to “buckle up” the “seatbelts”, which is a clear hint towards a car. On the same day, they’re also opening the payment window for the more affordable S1 Air electric scooter.

Since we are reading between the lines, we can’t confirm if Ola will showcase a prototype of their upcoming coupe car or bring us just another teaser clip. During their previous event as well, the CEO talked about their future plans regarding expanding their production capacity and making batteries in India. Only a small portion of the presentation catered to their intentions of building an electric car.

This time too, we shouldn’t expect them to devote much time to talking about cars. However, some key points during the speech could help us guesstimate their approach to entering the electric car business in the coming years.

Ola have confirmed in their previous presentation that they are working on 2 EV platforms and planning to bring 6 EVs in India. Here are our guesstimates about the same:

POSSIBLE OLA ELECTRIC CARS LAUNCHING IN 2024 AND LATER
Big Car Platform	Size-based Rivals
C-segment Coupe Sedan (Teased)	Honda City, Maruti Nexa Ciaz, Hyundai Verna
C-segment SUV	MG ZS, Hyundai Kona, Creta
C/D-segment MPV	Kia Carens, Nexa XL6, Maruti Ertiga
Compact Car Platform	Size-based Rivals
B2-segment hatchback	Nexa Baleno, Tata Altroz, Hyundai i20
B2-segment SUV/crossover	Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Brezza

In terms of pricing, we expect their first electric car to cost well under Rs. 20.0 lakh while offering acceleration comparable to that of Rs. 50.0 - Rs. 60.0 lakh car.
