Ola Electric Introduces Gen 3 Platform With Upgrades In Battery And Powertrain
With 4680 cells and an optimised powertrain design, the new platform seeks to improve range, charging speed and overall vehicle economy
Ola Electric has unveiled its new Gen 3 platform. The platform promises to increase electric mobility by including technologies such as 4680 battery cells and a more compact powertrain design. Ola Electric's Gen 3 platform represents a substantial leap in the company's EV lineup. This architecture is built around 4680 cells, which are known for its energy density and fast charging characteristics. This innovation is likely to increase the range and shorten the charging period of Ola's electric scooters.
One of the noticeable architectural changes to the Gen 3 platform is the closer integration of the motor and battery pack. Ola's powertrain is more compact and efficient since the space between these critical components has been reduced. This design not only optimises space, but it also adds to a decreased overall vehicle weight, which may improve both performance and efficiency.
The platform also includes a streamlined wire harness, which reduces the complexity of the internal wiring. This reduction in wiring is designed to improve vehicle reliability, overall performance and manufacturing efficiency.
Ola Electric's decision to use 4680 cells is consistent with industry trends favouring batteries with higher performance parameters. These cells are expected to play an important role in the company's plan of developing electric vehicles that fulfil the growing need for longer-range and faster charging choices. While the exact impact of these changes on the vehicle's range and performance has not been revealed, the new platform's design enhancements indicate an emphasis on efficiency and reliability.
