EV Scooters Get Software Updates Like Smartphones
Electric scooters are getting smarter, just like your phone!
They receive software updates wirelessly, called OTA updates, to fix problems, make them faster, and add new features.
Scooters like the Bajaj Chetak and Ola S1 Pro are already doing this.
These updates can improve how the scooter runs, such as giving it a longer range or better acceleration.
Usually, these updates are free, especially while the scooter is still under warranty.
You can find out about updates by checking your owner's manual, asking the dealer, using a mobile app, or by looking at your scooter's display.
Electric scooters in India, like the Bajaj Chetak, Ola S1 Pro, Ather 450X, and TVS iQube, receive over-the-air (OTA) software updates.
These updates can fix bugs, improve performance, add new features like multi-language displays, and enhance connectivity.
Benefits include improved range, smoother acceleration, better battery efficiency, and enhanced mobile app and GPS integration.
OTA software updates are mostly free, especially during the warranty period, but some updates might cost after the warranty expires.
Owners can find out about updates through their owner’s manual, dealers, mobile apps, or notifications on the scooter's display.
