Hello everyone,
I own an Ola S1 X+ Gen 1, 3 kWh model, and I wanted to share my situation and get some suggestions from the community.
For the last few months, I have been facing a battery-related issue. The scooter normally charges to around 50%, but after that, it suddenly jumps to 100% within 10 minutes or so. Because of this, I was not confident about the actual battery percentage or the real range.
I recently sent it to the service center, and after checking, they informed me that almost half of the battery pack is damaged/fried, and the BMS also has an issue.
Now I am confused about what to do next. I am considering two options:
- Sell the scooter as it is, in case anyone is interested in buying it and repairing it.
- Go for Ola’s exchange program and upgrade to the same variant in Gen 3.
Has anyone faced a similar issue with the Ola S1 X+ Gen 1?
Also, would it make more sense to repair and keep it, sell it, or exchange it for the Gen 3 model?
Any honest suggestions or experiences would be really helpful. Thanks in advance! 🙏
