"While day 1 of purchase was quite unprecedented for us and the auto industry, day 2 simply continued from where day 1 left off! The excitement and enthusiasm customers showed for our products remained high throughout," said Bhavish in the blog.
He further stated that while the purchase window is now closed, reservations remain open on the Ola Electric website. The reopening of the purchase window is expected on November 1st, 2021, in time for Diwali.

The day one sale of Ola Electric scooters saw four scooters being sold every second, clocking a total value of over Rs 600 crore on Wednesday.
