Netizens slam Ola’s Bhavish over poor e-scooter quality as he shows battery cell to Union Minister Vaishnaw

As Bhavish Aggarwal met Union Railways and Electronics and IT Minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw, on Thursday to show an indigenously-made lithium battery cell, netizens slammed Ola Electric scooters' quality, saying these EV cells "need to be tested according to international standards".

Ola Electric has announced the integration of its battery cells in its own vehicles, starting Q1 FY26.

An X user posted that "our business needs to be quality-wise accurate globally". "Working on different businesses at once without looking at quality concerns will affect Ola’s footprint in the domestic market. Specifically talking about Ola two-wheelers. He (Bhavish) should take it seriously," he posted.

Another EV user posted on X: "I am using an e-vehicle scooter and its battery is deteriorating in a year's use."
