Ola Electric Accelerates EV Revolution: Roadster X+ Secures Landmark CMVR Certification for 4680 Bharat Cell Powertrain

Certification Milestone

Ola Electric achieved a breakthrough with Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR) certification from the International Centre for Automotive Technology (iCAT), Manesar, for the Roadster X+ 9.1 kWh variant. The approval covers rigorous vehicle-level testing under Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) standards for battery operated two-wheelers, including safety, performance, and environmental compliance. This greenlights production and customer deliveries, positioning Ola as a leader in domestic EV innovation.

Key Highlights

• First in India: Roadster X+ becomes the pioneering electric motorcycle certified with completely in house 4680 Bharat Cell battery pack and cells.
• ​Impressive Range: Delivers up to 500 km on a single charge, tackling range anxiety for urban and inter-city rides via high energy density.
• ​Battery Validation: 9.1 kWh pack certified by ARAI under AIS-156 Amendment 4, passing thermal runaway, fire safety, vibration, and water immersion tests.
• Portfolio Expansion: 4680 Bharat Cells now power Ola's full two-wheeler lineup, including scooters and upcoming Ola Shakti.

Strategic Impact
The certification reinforces Ola's vertical integration from cells to vehicles at its Tamil Nadu Gigafactory, cutting import reliance and boosting cost efficiency. Deliveries commence soon, targeting Tier 2/3 markets amid India's EV push.
