How often do I need to renew bike insurance for a fuel bike?
The insurance policy of Petrol Bikes needs to be renewed regularly
For high-speed electric bikes (above 250W and 25 km/h), insurance cover is mandatory under Indian law, just like petrol bikes. However, EV owners enjoy greater renewal flexibility, with options to choose annual, 3-year, or even 5-year comprehensive plans, reducing the hassle of frequent renewals. Additionally, insurance premiums for EVs are generally lower than for petrol bikes, as electric bikes have fewer moving parts, lower accident claim rates, and reduced maintenance risks. |
What is the lifespan of an Ola electric bike battery?
Ola electric bikes come with a battery warranty of 3 years or up to 50,000 km, with the option to extend it to 8 years or 125,000 km. In real-world use, the usual life of an Ola battery is 6-8 years, depending on charging habits and riding conditions. Many riders report minimal degradation (around 5% after 30,000+ km), showing the batteries are built for long-term reliability. |
Do electric bikes need maintenance like traditional bikes?
Electric bikes need far less maintenance than traditional petrol bikes. Since they don’t have engines, gearboxes, or exhaust systems, you avoid costs like oil changes, clutch repairs, and frequent part replacements. The main expenses are limited to periodic servicing, brake pads, and tire care, along with battery health checks.

What should I check before buying a two-wheeler?
Things to check before buying a two-wheeler:
- Budget - Compare upfront cost, financing options, and subsidies.
- Fuel / Energy Efficiency - Check mileage for petrol bikes or range & charging for electric scooters.
- Safety Features - Brakes (disc & drum/CBS), lights, stability, and smart features like anti-theft alerts.
- Comfort & Handling - Seat height, weight, suspension, and ride quality.
- Design & Storage - Style, boot space, and utility for daily commute.
Maintenance & Warranty - Service intervals, battery or engine coverage, and spare parts availability.
How do I decide between petrol and electric two-wheelers?
Electric two-wheelers are far cheaper to run (as low as ₹0.17/km) compared to petrol (₹1.7-2.5/km), delivering massive savings- potentially ₹50k-₹90k over 5-6 years - especially if your daily use is moderate and charging is convenient. On the other hand, petrol two-wheelers have a lower upfront cost and greater convenience while refuelling. However, EVs increasingly offset their higher initial price through lower running costs, government subsidies, minimal maintenance, and the growing availability of charging infrastructure. Ultimately, the better choice depends on your budget, daily usage, and access to charging. |
How much budget is enough for a good two-wheeler?
A good two-wheeler budget in India starts from ₹70,000–90,000 for entry-level commuters, ₹1.2–1.8 lakh for feature-rich mid-range options, and ₹2–2.5 lakh for premium/performance bikes. With EMIs from ~₹2,000/month and running costs (fuel + service) adding up, many buyers now prefer EVs that save big on daily expenses. Ola Electric scooters start at just ₹73,999, making them a smart, future-ready choice. |
What documents are required to buy a new two-wheeler?
Documents Required
|
What is the typical EMI for a two-wheeler in India?
Typical EMIs for two-wheelers in India range between ₹3,500-₹7,500/month, depending on loan amount, interest rate (10%–28% p.a.), and tenure. A higher down payment lowers your EMI, while longer tenures reduce monthly outgo but increase total interest. For example, a ₹50k loan over 3 years may cost ₹1,600/month, while ₹1 lakh over 3 years can be ₹4,100/month. Use an EMI Calculator to plan your budget smartly. |
Is zero down payment available?
Zero down payment options may be available, but it depends on the financial institution you choose for the loan and your credit profile. Some lenders offer zero or low down payment plans, while others may require an initial amount. It’s best to check with Ola’s partnered finance providers or your preferred bank for eligibility. |
How important is mileage for daily commuters?
Mileage is crucial for daily commuters because it directly affects the running cost of your two-wheeler. Higher mileage (for petrol) or longer range per charge (for electric scooters) means fewer stops for fuel or charging and lower monthly expenses. For example, the running costs for a petrol scooter is ₹2.5/km vs. an electric scooter is ₹0.17/km can save up to ₹2,000-3,000 per month for a 1,000 km commute. Better mileage or efficiency not only reduces costs but also minimizes downtime and stress, making your daily ride more economical and hassle-free. |
What safety features should I check before buying?
You should check the following safety features that we should check before buying -
Safety:
- Braking system: Disc/drum brakes, CBS/ABS
- Anti-theft features: (app alerts, geo-fencing)
- Traction control and hill-hold
- Lights & indicators: Bright LED headlamps, brake lights
Comfort:
- Seat height & cushioning
- Suspension quality for smooth rides
- Scooter weight & handling
- Storage space: under-seat boot
Performance:
- Acceleration & torque for city traffic
- Top speed suitable for daily commute
- Range / fuel efficiency
- Charging / refueling convenience
Are LED headlights important?

LEDs also consume less energy, which is especially beneficial for electric scooters as it preserves battery range. Additionally, they last longer and require less frequent replacement, making them a cost-effective and safer choice for daily commuting. |
Why is a test ride important before buying?
A test ride is essential before buying any bike or scooter. Specs on paper don’t show how a vehicle actually handles, balances, or feels on the road. During a test ride, you can assess comfort, braking, acceleration, suspension, and turning response, ensuring it suits your riding style. Skipping this step risks choosing a two-wheeler that’s uncomfortable, hard to control, or unsafe - so always ride first to make a confident, informed decision. |
What is the price of the cheapest electric scooter in India?
The low-cost electric scooters in India typically starts around ₹70,000 and can go up to ₹1.5 lakh, depending on features and battery capacity.

Is the subsidy credited to my bank account?
For central government EV subsidies, the benefit is directly deducted from the vehicle’s price at the time of purchase - it is not credited to your bank account.
However, for state-level subsidies, you pay the full price upfront, and the subsidy amount is later credited to the bank account you provide during the application process.
Can I apply for the EV subsidy online myself?
For central government EV subsidies, you don’t need to apply online yourself - the subsidy is automatically applied at the time of purchase and is deducted from the original price.
For state-level subsidies, it depends on your state’s policy. Please check your state’s policies to know the process. Additionally, you check with your Ola Experience Centre for the latest state-specific process before purchasing.
Does every Ola bike qualify for a subsidy?
Yes, all Ola Electric scooters and bikes qualify for the central EV subsidy, provided you are claiming it for the first time for an electric two-wheeler using your Aadhaar.
However, if you’ve already claimed a subsidy for another EV 2-wheeler earlier using the same Aadhaar, you won’t be eligible again. For state-level subsidies, eligibility may vary based on your state’s EV policy - your nearest Ola Experience Centre can guide you on this.
Is the EV subsidy amount the same across all states?
EV subsidy amounts can vary by state since they depend on individual state EV policies and incentives. However, as of now (6th September 2025), the two states offering subsidies for electric two-wheelers have the same amount of ₹5000. These policies can change at any time, so it’s best to check your state’s latest EV policy or for updated information. |
Can I transfer my subsidy claim to another person?
No, you cannot transfer your EV subsidy claim to someone else. The subsidy is Aadhaar-linked and is always tied to the original buyer and the specific vehicle. Since it’s processed based on your Aadhaar and purchase details, it is non-transferable under current government regulations. |
Do I need to register my Ola EV to get the subsidy?
Yes, vehicle registration for EV subsidy is mandatory to claim the subsidy. The e-voucher on the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) portal can only be generated after your Registration Certificate (RC) is approved and updated on the MHI portal. |
Are battery-swapping electric vehicles eligible for subsidies?
Battery-swapping EV subsidy eligibility depends on the approval of the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) portal. The eligibility depends on whether the specific model meets MHI’s subsidy qualification criteria.
Ola vehicles, however, do not use swappable batteries. All Ola vehicles come with fixed batteries and are fully eligible for EV subsidies under the current MHI guidelines.
How long does it take to receive the EV subsidy after purchase?
The central EV subsidy is already deducted upfront from the invoice upon purchase, so you don’t need to wait for it separately.
For state EV subsidies, the timeline varies by state. After your RTO registration is complete and your documents are uploaded and verified on the state portal, the subsidy is usually credited depending on the state’s processing timelines.
Why has my Ola EV subsidy not been credited yet?
For Ola Electric scooters, the central is already deducted upfront from your invoice at the point of purchase, so there’s no separate credit for that.
If you’re waiting for a state EV subsidy, delays can happen due to some issue with the documents with the RTO. Since Ola Electric doesn’t process state subsidies directly, please check your state’s EV portal for real-time updates.
Can the subsidy be denied after I purchase the vehicle?
No, in most cases, your EV subsidy will not be denied after purchasing your Ola scooter. Ola ensures complete compliance at the time of sale- we verify the eligibility and documents during the purchase process to avoid any issues later.
After your vehicle is delivered, you just need to visit the Ola Experience Centre and complete the PM E-Drive process to finalize the claim.
Is the EV subsidy running out of funds in 2025?
How much govt has allocated for subsidy and how much allocated
No, the main central government EV subsidy scheme isn't running out of funds in 2025; the PM E-DRIVE Scheme has a fund of ₹10,900 crore and will run until 2028.
However, the subsidies for two- and three-wheeler EVs might end earlier, by March 31, 2026, if the fund is exhausted. Funding for EV incentives is finite and managed on a first-come, first-served basis, so delays in purchase or registration could mean missing out on available subsidies.
Can delays in registration affect my subsidy eligibility?
Yes, registration is needed to claim your subsidy. If your vehicle is not registered and the subsidy claim is not completed within 120 days from the invoice date, the EV subsidy will no longer be applicable. To avoid losing your benefits, it’s essential to complete RTO registration and submit all required documents on time. |
Can subsidy rules change after I book my vehicle?
No, any change in subsidy rules will not affect you once your invoice is generated - you will still receive the subsidy as per the policy applicable on your invoice date.
If the government makes any changes after you book your Ola scooter, we’ll inform you promptly so you have all the updated information.
How can I track my Ola EV subsidy claim status?
For central government EV subsidies, you don’t need to track anything - the benefit is automatically deducted from your Ola scooter’s price at purchase.
For state-level subsidies, you can check your claim status using the request/application number provided during the subsidy process. Additionally, you check with your Ola Experience Centre for any help with this.
Is it true that some EV models lost subsidy eligibility this year?
Several models have been dropped from the EV subsidy eligibility this year post updated localisation norms of FAME II. OEMs that don't meet these updated thresholds are excluded from the eligibility list, even if they were previously supported. So, even if an EV model was previously eligible for subsidies, a failure to comply with new local manufacturing requirements meant it could no longer benefit from central incentives.
All the Ola scooters and bikes continue to be fully eligible for subsidies.
What happens if I drive my EV without registration?
Driving your EV without registration is illegal and can result in hefty fines, penalties, or even vehicle confiscation. It also carries legal risks under the Motor Vehicles Act, making it mandatory to complete registration before using the vehicle on public roads. |
Can I cancel my EV registration?
You cannot cancel an EV registration once the vehicle has been invoiced and registered with the RTO, as registration is mandatory for all vehicles being purchased. However, if the registration process is still in progress and the application has not yet been submitted to the RTO, you can cancel your order. This is recommended if you wish to change your order or variant before final submission. |
Do used electric vehicles require re-registration?
Used EVs do not require re-registration if the ownership is transferred within the same state - only the RC is updated with the new owner’s details.
If the vehicle is transferred to another state, re-registration is required:
- Request NOC from original RTO.
- Submit original RC, insurance, and invoice to the new state RTO.
- Pay applicable road tax and fees.
- Submit re-registration application at the new RTO.
- The vehicle may undergo fitness inspection if required.
- New RC is issued by the RTO.
Is there a special concession for registering an EV in my state?
Yes, several states offer special concessions and subsidies for registering an EV, in addition to the PM E-Drive subsidy of ₹5,000 (central). Currently, the states offering a separate subsidy are:
- Uttar Pradesh (UP) – State subsidy of ₹5,000
- Chhattisgarh – State subsidy of ₹5,000
Additionally, most states provide registration fee waivers or reduced road tax to make EV ownership more affordable.
How do I renew my electric vehicle’s registration certificate?
In India, private EVs have an RC valid for 15 years, after which it must be renewed every 5 years. To renew, submit your current RC, insurance, PUC, and Form 25 at the RTO or via the Parivahan Sewa portal, pay the renewal fees, and complete any required inspection. Battery-operated EVs often have fee exemptions for renewal. |
Can I get a temporary registration for my electric vehicle?
Yes, a temporary registration (TR) is available for EVs while waiting for the permanent RC. This, however, is differs according to the state. Only certain states follow the TR-to-permanent (PR) process, with validity typically 1 month, though in some states it can extend up to 3 months. |
Are there different registration rules for EVs in each state?
Yes, EV registration rules vary by state in India, including exemptions, fees, and documentation requirements. For example:
- Karnataka accepts Aadhaar as address proof, while Maharashtra does not.
- Maharashtra offers a 100% exemption from road tax and registration charges for EVs.
Andhra Pradesh provides over 95% waiver in road tax.
Can I track my EV registration status online?
The EV registration is done directly by the dealer. However, you can track the registration status online at the same place as the order status. Additionally, some RTOs may send SMS updates on your application progress. |
Is the EV registration process different for commercial vehicles?
Yes, the EV registration process differs for commercial vehicles. During registration, you must select the vehicle type as commercial, and the EV will receive a yellow number plate instead of the standard green one for private EVs.
How do I register my electric vehicle in India?
The EV registration is handled by the dealer. Ola Electric will be registering the vehicle for you.
The EV RTO registration process is simple and Ola helps you at every step.

- Document submission – Ola uploads all necessary documents including invoice, insurance, KYC, disclaimer, Form 20, Form 21, inspection report, and chassis image.
RTO approval – The RTO verifies the application and issues the Registration Certificate (RC).
Do I need to re-register my EV after a battery replacement?
No, you don’t need to re-register your EV after a standard battery replacement. Registration remains valid as long as the chassis and vehicle details stay unchanged. |
Can I transfer ownership of an electric vehicle?
Yes, you can transfer ownership of an electric vehicle through the RTO. The first owner must sign Form 29 & 30 along with a delivery note, and provide the RC, invoice, insurance, and ID proof to the second owner. These, along with the buyer’s KYC, are submitted to the RTO for RC transfer. Or, you can simply exchange your old vehicle and upgrade to a new Ola EV hassle-free. |
What is the green number plate for electric vehicles?
The green number plate for electric vehicles is a High-Security Registration Plate (HSRP) with a green background, mandated to identify zero-emission vehicles. It not only distinguishes EVs from petrol/diesel vehicles but also offers benefits like road tax exemptions, toll concessions, and special access in certain states. |
How long does it take to register an electric vehicle?
On average, it takes 3–7 working days to register an electric vehicle, with most states completing it in about 5 days. However, this would depend on the state and the process they follow as some RTOs have physical processes. Delays can happen due to missing or incorrect documents, Aadhaar/OTP mismatches, or RTO backlogs.
Is there a road tax exemption for electric vehicles?
Yes, many states provide partial or full road tax exemption for EVs. For example, in Andhra Pradesh, road tax on a scooter can be nearly ₹19,685 but drops to just ₹485 with exemption. This makes EVs more affordable while also saving significantly on running costs. |
Can I register my EV online?
Yes, parts of the process can be done online, but the EV registration still requires dealer involvement. On the Vaahan portal, customers can track status, check fees, or upload certain documents. Ola Electric can submit the final application, upload invoices/insurance, and coordinate with the RTO for the EV registration. A physical visit may also be needed for vehicle inspection (chassis/battery verification) before the RC is issued, depending on state regulations. |
How much does electric vehicle registration cost?
The EV registration fee is an overall cost that differs by state and also varies depending on the vehicle variant. Many states offer reduced or even zero registration charges for EVs, whereas ICE (petrol) vehicles usually attract higher fees due to added road tax components. To know the exact amount, you can simply select your variant and enter your pincode during the booking process for a detailed cost breakdown. |
What documents are required for electric vehicle registration?
For EV registration, you’ll need:
- PAN & Aadhaar - for identity (some states may not accept Aadhaar, so voter ID/passport can be used).
