Ola Electric — Service Delay and Battery Risk Due to Faulty BMS Ola S1X (Reg. No: WB14AD7568)

Address: OLA experience center, Uluberia

Nature of the Complaint:
I am raising a formal grievance against Ola Electric Mobility Pvt. Ltd. regarding a severe delay in service and lack of resolution for a critical issue with my Ola S1X electric scooter.

The vehicle was submitted to the Ola service center over 20 days ago due to a malfunctioning Battery Management System (BMS) board. I was informed that the BMS board needed replacement. However, despite repeated follow-ups, there has been no progress, no timeline, and no transparency from Ola’s side.

Escalation History:
I have made multiple calls to Ola customer support.
I have sent several emails to Ola Electric’s official support channels.
I have also escalated the issue publicly on Twitter, tagging Ola Electric and its CEO, Mr. Bhavish Aggarwal.
Despite these efforts, the only response I have received is: “Our team is working on it”, with no actionable update or commitment.

Concerns Raised:
Battery Degradation Risk:
The scooter has been idle at the service center for over 20 days. Since the BMS board is a critical component for battery health, I am deeply concerned about deep discharge or permanent battery damage due to lack of maintenance.

Lack of Transparency:
Ola has failed to provide a clear timeline, written assurance, or battery health report. This reflects a serious deficiency in service and a lack of accountability.

Misleading Advertisement:
Ola Electric promotes its scooters as being backed by strong after-sales service and quick turnaround times. My experience contradicts these claims, which may amount to misleading advertisement under the Consumer Protection Act.

Relief Sought:
I request the following actions from Ola Electric:

Immediate replacement of the BMS board and return of the vehicle.
A battery health check and replacement if degradation is found due to the delay.
A written assurance regarding battery condition and service quality.
A battery health report at the time of delivery.
Compensation for the inconvenience, mental stress, and loss o[censored]se of the vehicle.

I am writing to provide an update on my ongoing complaint regarding the unresolved service issue with my Ola S1X (3kW) electric scooter. As of today, the vehicle has been at the Ola service center for over 20 days, and there has been no meaningful progress or resolution.

Despite multiple escalations via phone, email, and social media (including tagging Ola Electric’s CEO), I continue to receive only generic responses such as “our team is working on it, ” with no clear timeline or action plan.

I am now increasingly concerned about the potential degradation of the battery due to prolonged inactivity, especially since the issue involves the Battery Management System (BMS). This delay not only reflects a serious deficiency in service but also contradicts Ola Electric’s advertised claims of prompt and reliable after-sales support.

I request that this update be added to my complaint record and urge the concerned authorities to take immediate action. I am prepared to pursue further legal remedies if the matter is not resolved promptly.
