Ola Electric witnessed a resurgence in sales of its electric scooters with 9,634 units sold (as per Vahan) in the month of September 2022. This marked a notable 180% jump in sales over the 3,440 units sold reported by the brand in August 2022. Ola said that the jump in sales also pushed the company back in the number one spot for electric two-wheeler sales in the market. The company had seen sales slip in recent months which had seen it drop below rivals such as Ather Energy in the sales chart.
Compared to Vahan registration data for rivals, Okinawa Autotech stood second in terms of EV sales with 8,278 units. Ather’s sales stood at 6,164 units while Hero Electric retailed 8,018 units. Vahan numbers are different from manufacturer presented numbers with the former based on vehicles registered while the latter is based on units shipped to dealers.
