Range and Charging
With 176 km of claimed range, this version handles most city routines with ease. In real-world riding, expect roughly 125 to 145 km, depending on ride mode, traffic and load. As a result, a rider covering about 40 km a day only needs to charge every three days. The included 750 W portable charger plugs into any regular home socket, so an overnight charge is all you need.
Running Cost
With home charging, the 3 kWh version costs roughly Rs 0.15 to Rs 0.20 per km to run. For a commuter covering 1,200 km a month, that’s about Rs 200 in electricity, compared with around Rs 2,400 in petrol for a 110cc scooter. Moreover, there’s no oil to change, which keeps routine service costs low.
Ola S1 X 3 kWh Features
This version gets the full S1 X feature list. A 4.3-inch colour segmented display offers Bluetooth connectivity, while over-the-air updates keep the software current. Moreover, cruise control helps on open roads, and reverse mode makes parking easier. Riders can switch between Eco, Normal and Sports modes. In addition, Ola’s brake-by-wire system smooths out braking in traffic.
How It Compares with the 2 kWh and 4 kWh
Compared with the S1 X 2 kWh, this version costs Rs 15,000 more but adds 68 km of claimed range and 14 km/h of top speed. Meanwhile, the S1 X 4 kWh costs another Rs 15,000 and adds 66 km more. Therefore, the 3 kWh suits riders who want a balance of price and range. It also claims more range than the TVS iQube at a similar price.
