The company claims that its Gen 3 electric scooters have been engineered to bring improvements in of reliability, quality, serviceability — three key areas of problems which have surrounded the company in recent months. The hub motor is claimed to be one component of the electric scooter which is prone to quality issues.

Ola Electric says it has rectified this problem by moving the setup to a complete mid-mount. This not only reduces the cost but is also said to improve quality “significantly”.

The Gen 3 platform will also help get a 20 percent point reduction, leading to savings, says Agarwal. This is possible due to a reworked architecture of the motor platform which reduces cost while increasing the power density. Meanwhile, the electronics platform is redesigned to lower the number of ECUs and integrate them into a single board. Ola Electric has changed the battery structure, taking away layers of plastic.

All this combined, is said to result in those savings. The company also aims to start manufacturing of several components which are currently being outsourced to suppliers, in addition to increased automation, to lower costs at the factory level.
