Ola switches on EV battery cell tech pioneered by Tesla

In the coming months, Ola Electric is set to join a select group of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers by starting the commercial use of the cutting-edge 4680 battery cells.

Currently undergoing trial runs in Ola Electric's two-wheelers, these battery cells are designed and manufactured in-house by Ola Electric's subsidiary, Ola Electric Mobility.

The 4680 battery is viewed as a game-changer in the global battery market. The name originates from Tesla's decision to use a larger cylindrical structure, increasing the size from 21 millimetres (mm) in diameter and 70 mm in length to 46 mm in diameter and 80 mm in length, hence '4680.'

The new battery cells offer 5x more energy density and 6x more energy output than the current 2170 battery cells. In layman's terms, they can store more energy and handle heat, leading to a mileage and range boost of over 20 per cent.
