#1
Ola Electric
S1 X+ 4 kWh
₹124,999 ex-showroom
📌 The best under-₹1L EV in India — not even close. 34L boot, 90 km/h, 151 km claimed range, and MoveOS 4 software at ₹99,999. Ola's service limitations are the only caveat. But on specs, nothing at this price comes close.
🔋 180–200 km real range
⚡ 90 km/h
📦 34 L boot
⏱ 4.5 hrs charge
Who it's for
Tech-savvy first EV buyers in metro cities wanting the most scooter for ₹1L.
#3
Bounce Infinity
Infinity E1 2.0 kWh
₹68,999 ex-showroom
📌 ₹68,999 with battery-swap capability. If you live near a Bounce station, the 60-second swap makes this the most convenient budget EV. Range (60–75 km real) is limited, but swap solves range anxiety.

⚡ 65 km/h
📦 18 L boot
⏱ 4 hrs charge
Who it's for
Buyers near Bounce swap stations in Bengaluru, Delhi, or Hyderabad.

EPluto 7G 2.0 kWh
₹79,999 ex-showroom
