4680 Bharat Cell Battery
The biggest upgrade here is the battery. Ola’s in-house 4680 Bharat Cells pack more energy into the same space, which lifts the claimed range to 320 km. Notably, the same cells power the pricier Ola S1 Pro, so buyers get flagship battery tech at a lower price. In real-world riding, expect roughly 230 to 260 km per charge, depending on mode and load.
Range and Charging
That range changes how often you need to plug in. A commuter covering 60 km a day can go about four days between charges. Even a delivery rider covering 100 km a day only needs to charge every two days. At home, the battery reaches 80% in about 7 hours, so an overnight top-up covers most needs.
Ola S1 X+ 5.2 kWh Features and Safety
This version gets the full S1 X+ feature list, along with stronger braking hardware. A front disc brake works with Ola’s brake-by-wire system and a combined braking system for smoother, more controlled stops. Moreover, a 4.3-inch colour display offers Bluetooth navigation and call alerts. Cruise control, reverse mode and over-the-air updates also come standard. However, it misses the 7-inch touchscreen and dual-channel ABS found on the S1 Pro.
Running Cost for Long Commutes
The 5.2 kWh version pays off most for high-mileage riders. With home charging, it costs roughly Rs 0.15 to Rs 0.20 per km. For a rider covering 2,000 km a month, that’s about Rs 400 in electricity, compared with around Rs 4,000 in petrol for a 110cc scooter. As a result, the extra cost over the S1 X+ 4 kWh can pay for itself over a few years of heavy use.
