Ola Electric Announces Massive Refund For Existing Customers
The company had been charging customers for the charger separately, which initiated a probe from the government
Ola Electric has announced that it will be refunding a total of Rs 130 crores, following an investigation initiated by the Ministry of Heavy Industry. The EV maker had been charging its customers an additional sum for the charger, which is in violation of the FAME-II regulations.
The Automotive Research Association Of India (ARAI) won’t be taking any action against Ola Electric. The EV manufacturer sent a letter dated April 30, 2023, on its own accord stating that it will reimburse the price of the charger to all its customers who purchased the e-scooter on or before March 30, 2023.

Ola Electric has now removed the charger cost from its price break-up on the website, though the price remains unchanged. The S1 Pro continues to retail at Rs 1,24,999 while the S1 costs Rs 99,999 (ex-showroom, inclusive of FAME-II subsidy).
Companies had been adding the charger costs separately to bring in more FAME-II benefits, but with the government taking stringent action, customers will soon get the money the manufacturers owe them.

- It's Affordable And Won't Affect The EnvironmentPros and disadvantages pros: If you want this for short, everyday trips, get it since it's affordable and won't affect the environment much. It also has more features than any other scooter. Cons: This bike's noise occasionally comes from certain components, such as its headlight and disc brake, and I didn't particularly like the way it looked. It may also not be as effective in rural areas where there is a lack of electricity and electric stations as well as poor roads, making it less likely to perform as well. My recommendation is that you utilise it for daily activities and sporadic trips.Read More1
