EVs can climb, but you are right - 40 degrees is too much. Some of the steepest grades for roads is 35 degrees.

Re: Ola's first electric car for India teased

The picture/ render and all looks superb.
However, I am somehow not at all convinced that Ola has the capabilities to come up with a high quality EV product.
Personally if I do become forced to move to EV, I would be happier trusting one of the established car makers.
However, if over the next few years Ola does indeed get its act together, then yes, we can test and see.
For the moment, as someone said on the thread, it would be better if this Ola person doesn’t spout too much Musk-ian rhetoric but rather, focuses quietly on making a successful trustworthy and dependable product. Actions, after all, speak way louder than words.

We are probably going off-topic. The link you shared has the highest gradient percent at 40% which is roughly 22 degrees. 100% gradient is 45 degrees. Normal roads in all likelihood will never have a 35 degree gradient.

Re: Ola's first electric car for India teased

The shape looks cool. Can that be called a coupe?
All glass roof. Aerodynamic. Mouthwatering specs.

Re: Ola's first electric car for India teased

I am not an expert on EVs. But, looking at the journey of OLA's electric scooter, I will stay away from OLA electric car at least for 10 years post its launch. Hope by then the niggles would have been sorted out (If OLA wants to sort it!).
Having worked in auto component manufacturing factory, I know how quality aspects work. It is a culture, it is a mindset within the organization. If anyone in the organization is permitted to live with a "chalta hai" attitude, it catches on and it is very very difficult to change that culture/mindset.

Re: Ola's first electric car for India teased

I understand the need to stay competitive in an evolving EV market but why wouldn't OLA iron out the issues with its scooters before taking on the 4 wheeler segment?! It seems like after-sales service has become an after-thought for these new entrants. Sell now and service patch the software later with no rigorous testing as should be the norm.

Re: Ola's first electric car for India teased

Honestly, they have far too many issues with their scooters that need an urgent attention. Teasing an EV to gauge a response or to generate a buzz is great but what Ola Electric needs to remember is that these might not necessarily translate into great sales figures (The S1 scooters are good examples of it).

An amazing advertising / social media campaign can get tons of likes but what will help them convert the "likes" to "buys" is a robust product and better customer experience. Ola Electric isn't particularly scoring well on both these aspects. To add to these woes their hustle culture is making things worse for them.

That said, the design and specs look exciting.
