They say that speed is with their special charger.

Where did you read that? The article posted only mentions an external 750w charger. I assume the quick charging doesn't just use a higher wattage built in charger connected via type 1 because then the same could just be used for home charging via the mains. Also even though the battery capacity is quite low it would still need to be in the region of 7-8kW which doesn't sound reasonable.

It has a very small battery, so it's not anything Zero and Energica couldn't do.

Ahh wait a minute it seems they're doing that bullshit-about-range thing trick that everyone seems to try.

"...18 minutes of charging will get 46 miles of range (no mention of whether that's for the 75 or 112 mile range model)"

Ola has started delivering vehicles, but will they hit their production goals?

Yeah, that was expected. I'm pretty impressed with the range anyway:
I hope it will be enough for a lot of people, especially with the Hypercharger

Remember that Indian domestic voltage is 220V not 110V. Half the current needed for same charge input. So a common base 10A GPO can comfortably deliver 2.4KVA and a 15A ( still single phase) can deliver 3.6KVA.

If the production, price and performance mentioned in that article is true that is very impressive. But will they try to market the scooter in the U.S.?
