Roadster X+ Technical Specifications

The Roadster X+ is equipped with a 9.1 kWh battery pack and will be providing a claimed range of up to 500 Km. The company has achieved this exceptional range due to the higher energy density and thermal efficiency of its 4680 Bharat Cell Technology. 

As per the company, the vehicle can be used for both urban and non-urban commutes, including the Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, even where charging infrastructure is limited. This certification will also help Ola to do extensive application of 4680 Bharat Cell Technology across its entire two-wheeler lineup, which includes electric scooters and motorcycles. 

The company will be also using the same cell platform in Ola Shakti as a part of its vertically integrated approach ultimately covering cells, battery packs, and vehicle platforms. 

The certification process included extensive vehicle-level testing which is mandatory by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) specifically done for Battery Operated Vehicles (BoV) in the electric two-wheeler category. These tests consist of constructional and functional safety, range, noise, electromagnetic compatibility, and braking performance. 

As per Ola Electric, this development is a result of their dedicated strategy which included development of advanced electric mobility solutions which includes in-house manufacturing of cells, battery packs, and vehicles backed by its production and research facilities.
