Ola launches its electric ride-hailing category in London in ‘global first’

Indian ride-hailing company Ola on Thursday announced that it is launching a new electric vehicle (EV) category on its platform, which will allow riders in London to specifically book rides in a fully electric vehicle.

The new category called Ola EV has been described as a “global first” for Ola and will be available across the UK capital from this week and over time will be rolled out to other cities around the world where Ola is operational. The Ola EV category will cost riders the same as a comfort category on the Ola app.
