After a series of delays, Ola Electric has finally started deliveries of its debut electric scooter, the Ola S1, across the country. Since the EV maker doesn’t have any dealership, the scooters are delivered directly to the customers’ preferred location. It is worth noting that several features of the e-scooter like Hill Hold, Voice Assistant, app connectivity, and cruise control will be offered in near future via Over the Air (OTA) updates.
