Ola Electric Transitions to Dealer Model Amid Market Share and Sales Challenges
Ola Electric is shifting from direct-to-consumer sales to a dealer-led model amid declining market share and registrations. The company has closed orders at its own stores and plans to shut most by December, expanding its dealer network to 450 stores by year-end and 700 by March 2027. Ola attributes sales challenges to production and supply delays, not demand, and expects the dealer strategy to improve cash flow and reduce operating costs, though its impact on reversing registration declines remains uncertain.
