      New Ola Electric Scooter Under Rs 80k – Launch On 22nd Oct

      by

      With a lower price tag, Ola sub Rs 80K scooter is likely to get fewer features in contrast with Ola S1 electric scooterImage For ReferenceOla Electric is one of the highest-selling premium e-scooters. India being one of the largest 2W markets in the world, electric revolution has not taken a back seat at all. In fact, 2W EVs are ramping up at a constant pace. While Indian Government has a hand in that growth owing to the FAME II subsidies that nudged people towards EVs.Even though the Government has extended the FAME II Scheme till 31st March 2024, 2W EV manufacturers should take a step towards affordable products. With Hero Vida and Honda likely to come to this arena soon, competition will intensify considerably. Products that come out victorious are likely to be inexpensive ones.Ola Sub Rs 80K e-ScooterWith S1, which was launched on August 15th, Ola offered most of its flagship-worthy features with a Rs. 99,999 product. With ever-growing competition, Ola seems to announce a sub Rs. 80,000 electric scooter on Diwali.Ola CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal, took to social media to announce the launch date – set for 22nd Oct. He expresses his excitement by saying that “Planned something BIG for our launch event this month!” He further stated that he “Will accelerate the #EndICEAge revolution by at least 2 years”.Our Diwali event will be on 22nd Oct. One of the biggest announcements ever from Ola. See you soon! pic.twitter.com/389ntUnsDe— Bhavish Aggarwal (@bhash) October 8, 2022Ola is aiming to launch one of the most affordable premium electric scooters in the country. And the pricing for that electric scooter is likely to fall below Rs 80K. Aggarwal didn’t impart further details pertaining to this new “BIG” launch. Whatever it is, will take electric scooter sales further, according to Ola Electric.What To Expect?With lower cost, lower specs and lower features are immediately evident. Since this new product costs less than Ola S1 electric scooter, one can expect less features too. S1 already packs fewer features in contrast with S1 Pro. This upcoming product is likely to reflect a similar strategy and take on existing competition like Ather, Simple, Okinawa, TVS, Chetak and current segment leader Hero Electric and the likes, along with upcoming Hero Vida and Honda electric scooters.Ola S1 deliveries started from September 7th across the country. It packs a 3 kWh battery pack worth of juice. This is smaller than S1 Pro’s battery pack which has 4 kWh worth of juice in it. Even with a smaller battery Ola S1 promises 141 km of range from a single charge. Motor is the same as S1 Pro and is pretty much up there with other premium electric scooters.Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal AnnouncementOla sub Rs 80K electric scooter may get similar specifications as S1 or slightly lower, owing to its lower price tag. Ola will divulge further details at their event this month. But, speculations revolving around the product suggest similar specs as Ola S1, with fewer features along with it due to the lower price tag of Rs 80K. More

      California Extends Digital License Plate Option to Everyone

      by

      It’s been almost a decade since California first considered digital license plates, and now anyone in the state can get one.There’s only one company that’s selling digital plates. Reviver offers two versions of its RPlate: a battery-powered model that requires a $20/month subscription fee or a hard-wired model for commercial vehicles for $25/month.Digital license plates are currently allowed in just three states—California, Michigan, Arizona—and can be used on commercial vehicles in Texas. Another 10 or so states are considering approving the devices.Anyone in California can now legally put a digital license plate on their car. High-tech license plates have been allowed in limited numbers since 2018, but now the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will allow any vehicle owner to use digital plates. California first started thinking about alternatives to standard metal license plates in 2013 with the passage of SB 806.Reviver, the only company that sells digital plates today, announced the passage this week of a new bill that it helped shepherd through the California legislature. The Motor Vehicle Digital Number Plates bill (AB-984) increases the number of people who will be allowed to use a digital plate on their car from the one-half of one percent of the state’s automobiles— around 175,000 vehicles that the original pilot program allowed—to all 40 million vehicles registered in the state. With the passage of AB 984, digital license plates are now legal for passenger cars in three states—California, Michigan, Arizona—and they can be installed on commercial vehicles in Texas.More on License PlatesOne of Reviver’s selling points for connected, digital license plates is that they can be immediately updated to display Amber Alerts or an “I’m Stolen” message if needed. Reviver said at least another 10 states are in some way considering adoption of digital license plates. Colorado, Georgia and Illinois have approved the plates, but details about integrating them with the state DMVs has not been completed. Reviver said Pennsylvania and New Jersey are likely to approve digital plates soon.Reviver has been pushing forward with its digital plate plans, touting benefits like the ability to renew the plates without using a sticker and the fact that the plates have built-in tracking technology that can be used in case the vehicle is stolen. The company said around 10,000 people in California have installed its digital plates, called RPlate, under the current rules.Technically, the new law doesn’t just help Reviver. AB-984 establishes general requirements for “piloting and adopting new alternative devices for vehicle licensing,” the company said. It’s just that Reviver is currently the only one offering any kind of alternative. The company offers a battery-powered RPlate that can be installed on any vehicle and, since the digital plates need to connect to a cellular network to operate, subscription costs run $19.95 a month. A hard-wired RPlate is available for commercial vehicles and requires professional installation. The hard-wired models offer more integrated telematics features and their displays are backlit. Subscriptions for the hard-wired model cost $24.95 a month. Commercial customers can sign their RPlates up for Reviver’s RFleet Software Dashboard. Reviver touts RFleet as a way to streamline some of the mundane parts of a fleet manager’s job: automated vehicle registration, batch registration renewal and a way to track every vehicle in the fleet through the RPlate if the vehicle doesn’t have built-in telematics for this purpose.

      2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Begging to Be Tracked Is Our Bring a Trailer Auction Pick of the Day

      by

      • This 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS that’s currently up for auction on Bring a Trailer has us reminiscing about our prior encounters with the 991.2-generation track star.• Like the one in the BaT listing, the ’19 GT3 RS we tested and lapped at VIR had an unforgettable naturally aspirated 520-hp flat-six engine and otherwordly handling.• The 911 GT3 RS started at $190,050 when new in 2019; the current bid is $150,000, and the auction ends on Tuesday, October 12.I believe happy memories are more valuable than money. Unfortunately, I don’t have the money to make those types of memories by buying the six-figure 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS that’s currently listed on the Bring a Trailer auction site, which—like Car and Driver—is part of Hearst Autos. Still, despite my embarrassingly underfunded bank account, my job here at C/D has exposed me to exotica like the 991.2-generation GT3 RS. While such short-lived romances are bittersweet, the priceless memories never leave me.991.2 GT3 RS RememberedWearing white paint, not unlike the one we tested in Southern California many moons ago, the tracktastic 911 on BaT isn’t the color I’d prefer. I’m partial to flashier shades like Lizard Green on the ’19 GT3 RS that we drove on the Isle of Man. However, I dig the retro GT3 RS graphic on the lower body sides of the auction car. Compared with the insane aero bits on the new 992 generation, which we recently sampled at Britain’s iconic Silverstone Circuit, the outgoing model somehow manages to look subdued. That’s fine by me. The soaring rear spoiler, road-hogging hips, cool-looking NACA ducts, and center-locking wheels on the 2019 version still effectively say, “Get the hell out of my way! I’m gunning for the lap record.”Bring a TrailerWhile it wouldn’t be a deal breaker, I’m bummed that this particular GT3 RS isn’t equipped with the liposuction-like Weissach package. Originally an $18K option, it brought a bevy of lightweight materials (saving a claimed 13 pounds). Plus, it left some of the carbon-fiber panels unpainted and exposed to properly flaunt your investment. The Weissach option also was the only way to unlock the magnesium wheels—a $13,000 add-on that shaved off 25 pounds. At least the GT3 RS in the listing has a handful of desirable options that include the larger 23.7-gallon fuel tank for extended road-trip range and the front-axle lift system that prevents plowing into speed bumps and steep entrances.Bring a TrailerSo, what’s it like to drive arguably one of the greatest driver’s cars of all time? For maximum clarity, let’s pull a couple of excerpts from our firsthand experiences both on and off the racetrack.Regarding the GT3 RS’s naturally aspirated 520-hp 4.0-liter flat-six that produces breathtaking, albeit loud, noises and redlines at a lofty 9000 rpm: “Hitting that redline rings unprotected ears. Our golden years will surely consist of a lot of nodding during cocktail parties.” –K.C. Colwell at Lightning Lap 2019GT3 RS in SoCal. Jessica Lynn Walker |Car and DriverGT3 RS at VIR.Marc Urbano|Car and DriverHow does this track-oriented machine operate as a daily driver? “The ride quality is civil enough so as to not disturb your significant other when you volunteer to drive to dinner, although pulling 1.24 g’s in a corner may permanently rearrange their opinion of you.” –Tony Quiroga, driving the 2019 GT3 RS in Southern CaliforniaAnd there are more memories where those came from. So, while I’ll likely never own my own Porsche 911 GT3 RS, I’m lucky enough to know how incredible it is. It’s why the two-owner example on the Bring a Trailer website caught my eye. With only 1900 miles on its odometer, it’s begging to be tracked. This content is imported from poll.

      Keeway 125cc Spied At Dealer Showroom – Pulsar, KTM Rival

      by

      Keeway SR125 will get a 125cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine making around 10 bhp and 9 NmKeeway 125cc SpiedWith an announcement of launching 8 2W vehicles in India, Keeway had a retro 125cc street bike in the works. We have seen the launch of Vieste 300, Sixties 300i scooters, K-Light 250V and V302C cruiser bikes and K300 R faired sports bike and K300 N naked, as well. That makes it 6. There is still wiggle room with 8 vehicles announced.One of those 8 offerings was supposed to be a retro 125cc street naked bike. Keeway has a 125cc retro street naked in the form of SR125. Now, we have spotted a Keeway SR125 alongside Sixties 300i at the showroom. So, is it an indication of a launch in the cards? Keeway or its sales partner AARI have not issued any statements regarding this development.Keeway 125cc Spied At Dealer ShowroomKeeway’s benefactor QJMotor has a slew of 125cc vehicles in the form of scooters and commuters at its home turf, China. With commuter motorcycles, this 125cc engine makes 7.5 kW equivalent to 10.05 bhp of power and 8.9 Nm. It is air-cooled and is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. They usually weigh around 120 kg.Some of these motorcycles are QJ125(150)-26A, QJ125-9H, QJ125-16R, QJ125(150)-22T, QJ125(150)-26E, QJ125(200)-2G and more. If Keeway SR125 does launch in India, it is likely to don the same 125cc engine making around 10.05 bhp of power and weighing around the ballpark of 120 kg. The one we spotted, credit to TheClutchless, is a white colour model.Keeway 125cc SpiedIn terms of design, it is unlike any other 125cc commuters that we have in India. It has a very interesting design and looks like a culmination of a retro and a scrambler motorcycle. It gets a neatly designed fuel tank with knee recess, to grab onto, finished in white with Keeway badging. Rest of the bike is kept black including its engine bay to give it a sporty appeal.Keeway SR125 gets a round headlight and round blinkers along with a round instrument cluster. It is a fully-digital unit and the functionalities are still under wraps. The ribbed single-piece seat finished in brown, adds to the retro appeal. Adding more retro appeal is an old-school fuel filler cap finished in chrome.Specs & FeaturesSR125 gets telescopic front forks with fork gaiters. This along with dual-purpose tyres and black finished spoked wheels, give it a scrambler-ish vibe. Keeway has also offered functional features like a centre stand and engine kill switch. It can’t be said if the rear gets a disc or not. But, the front for sure gets one.Keeway SR125 gets dual shock absorbers at the rear. SR125 gets a 125cc engine that is likely to make around 10 bhp of power and around 9 Nm of torque and will be coupled to a 5-speed gearbox. Launch details are not yet revealed officially. However, if it does launch, it will be offered at a premium and definitely a lot more pricier than other budget 125cc commuters that we have today. It could take on the likes of KTM Duke 125 and Pulsar 125 in India.Source More

      Tata Nexon EV Vs Mahindra XUV400 Electric SUV – Specs Compared

      by

      Mahindra XUV400 Vs Nexon EV yields interesting results as the latter is currently the highest-selling 4W EVXUV400 Vs Nexon EVTata Motors, with Nexon EV Prime, Nexon EV Max and Tigor EV, is currently leading the sales charts with 84.86% of the total 4W EV market share in August 2022. With such a lead, Tata is currently unrivalled and is likely to stay that way until Mahindra XUV400 is launched in India. But what does XUV400 bring to the table? Does it pack enough to compete with Nexon EV? Is XUV400 an underdog? Let’s take a look at what the numbers got to say.To take on the current champ, XUV400 has a tough job at its disposal. We say this because Nexon EV is a culmination of a lot of aspects fused into one electric vehicle. Features, feel-good factors, design, customer perception, a sense of familiarity and a lot more aspects make Nexon EV. But Mahindra XUV400 ain’t no slouch either.XUV400 Vs Nexon EVStarting with its dimensions, XUV400 is a larger product as it is not chopped to fit the sub 4m constraint. It retains the dimensions of SsangYong Tivoli on which it is based. It is 4.2m long and is also wider, taller and has a longer 2,600mm wheelbase too. But because of its smaller wheelbase, Nexon EV boot is comparable to XUV400.Coming to powertrains, XUV400 makes 150 PS and 310 Nm which is more than even Nexon EV Max. Whereas Nexon EV Max blows punches in terms of slightly larger battery size. But XUV400 claims a range of 456 km on a single charge while Nexon EV Max claims 437 km. 0 to 100 km/h acceleration is 8.3 seconds for XUV400, slightly quicker than Nexon EV Max.XUV400 Vs Nexon EV Range – SpecsXUV400 gets 3 driving modes Fun, Fast and Fearless. These modes also alter regen and steering weight. On Nexon EV Max, regen controls are four and are controlled separately from the three driving modes. Both XUV400 and Nexon EV Max get similar charging speeds. But XUV400 claims less time for charging. Both SUVs get the same CCS2 charging socket though.Features & PricingFeatures is the one area where Mahindra could have done better with XUV400. It feels a little weird to even say that a Tata product gets more features than a modern Mahindra. We say this because Mahindra has a track record of stuffing their vehicles with useful features ever since the days of XUV500. But when added together, Nexon EV Max gets more features.In fact, XUV400 seems to cut down on a few features from XUV300 like dual-zone climate control. Nexon EV Max gets front ventilated seats, rear AC vents, a digital circular display housed inside gear selector, an air purifier, wireless phone charger, auto-dimming IRVM, electronic parking brake and a few more. XUV400 lacks all these niceties.XUV400 Vs Nexon EV Range – FeaturesTata Motors has more to offer as an EV PV manufacturer. Nexon EV comes in a two battery spec option. A choice for a lower-spec powertrain for less money. In addition, Tata offers special editions like Jet and Dark with Nexon EV range. Tata Motors have Tigor EV and Tiago EV.  Prices for XUV400 will be revealed at launch along with variants and versions (if any). Right now, Nexon EV Max starts from Rs. 18 lakh and Nexon EV Prime starts from Rs. 14.99 lakh (both prices ex-sh). Only time can tell if XUV400 beats Nexon EV in terms of sales or not. More
