Ola Electric rolls out Shakti; marks major milestone towards scaling-up 4680 Bharat Cell platform

Key Highlights

• “The rollout of Shakti from our Gigafactory is a defining moment in our mission to build the future of energy in India.
• With Ola Shakti, we have reimagined how India will store and consume energy,” a company spokesperson said.
• Powered by the company’s indigenous 4680 Bharat Cell, Ola Shakti makes reliable, affordable, and intelligent energy storage accessible to every Indian home, farm, and business, the spokesperson added.
• Unlike conventional lead-acid inverters or diesel generators, Shakti operates across a wide input voltage range of 200V-240V protecting appliances from voltage fluctuations, and is spill-proof with IP67-rated batteries tested for dust, water, and monsoon conditions, the company said.
• Ola Shakti is available in four configurations — 1kW/1.5kWh, 1kW/3kWh, 3kW/5.2kWh, and 6kW/9.1kWh and can power air conditioners, refrigerators, induction cookers, farm pumps, and communication equipment, with charging times as fast as 2 hours and backup capacity of up to 1.5 hours on full load.
