Ola Electric's S1 X+ Scooter with 4680 Bharat Cell Gets Government Certification
Ola Electric's S1 X+ (5.2 kWh) scooter, featuring the indigenous 4680 Bharat Cell, has received government certification from ICAT. This makes it the longest-range mass-market scooter in Ola's portfolio, offering 320 km IDC range and 125 km/h top speed. The certification aims to accelerate EV adoption across India.
The certification of a new scooter model with an advanced battery technology is a positive step, but its impact is medium as it primarily expands the existing mass-market portfolio rather than introducing a completely new segment or a major financial event.
The announcement details a significant government certification for Ola Electric's new scooter model, which is expected to boost EV adoption. This is a positive development for the company.
Ola Electric Mobility Limited has announced that its mass-market electric scooter, the S1 X+ (5.2 kWh), powered by its indigenously developed 4680 Bharat Cell battery pack, has received approval from the International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT), Manesar. This government-certified testing agency has approved the scooter under the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR), 1989.
The S1 X+ 5.2 kWh is now the longest-range product in Ola Electric’s mass-market scooter portfolio. This certification is a significant milestone in bringing high-performance EV technology to a broader customer base across India.
An Ola Electric spokesperson stated, “The government certification of the S1 X+ 5.2 kWh is a significant milestone as we bring our in-house developed 4680 Bharat Cell technology to the mass market at scale. As the longest range scooter in our mass market portfolio, it delivers a strong combination of range, performance, safety, and reliability, making EVs a practical choice for a much wider set of customers across India. This is another important step towards accelerating EV adoption beyond metros and into the heart of the country.”
The S1 X+ 5.2 kWh offers a 320 km IDC range and a top speed of 125 km/h, powered by an 11 kW mid-drive motor with integrated MCU. The scooter utilizes Ola’s in-house developed 4680 Bharat Cell, known for its high energy density and advanced thermal capabilities, making long-distance commuting practical and accessible, particularly outside urban centers.
The certification followed a comprehensive validation program including vehicle-level safety, performance, and regulatory compliance tests. Ola Electric continues to expand the deployment of its 4680 Bharat Cell technology across its product lines, reinforcing its vertically integrated approach.
