Bhavish Aggarwal, the founder and CEO of Ola Electric as well as Ola Cabs, remains optimistic about the future of electric transportation. When discussing the cost dynamics of electric motorcycles compared to their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts, Aggarwal stated, "We don't think the cost of making an electric mobike will have a big gap with ICE mobikes."
