Ola Electric has announced a major strategic shift by opening its sales and service network to dealer partners across India. The move marks the company's biggest departure from its direct-to-consumer model as it battles declining sales, shrinking market share and rising competition from TVS, Bajaj, Ather and Hero.

Hyundai has made the Creta Electric more accessible with a new Battery-as-a-Service model. The SUV now starts at ₹10.99 lakh, while battery rental begins from ₹3.90/km. But the real ownership cost will depend on monthly running.
