As
in the case of Bengaluru, Ather Energy will be introducing both its products
450 and 340, along with setting-up its public charging infrastructure, Ather
Grid, across consumer-friendly locations such as cafes, malls, tech-parks,
gyms, etc. To encourage adoption of EVs
in the city, Ather Energy has announced free charging at Ather Points for all
electric vehicles for the first six months.
Ather
Energy reiterated its commitment to developing India’s charging ecosystem by
announcing its pan-India association with Godrej Nature’s Basket recently. The
partnership will see Ather Energy setting-up its charging stations - Ather
Point - at Godrej Nature’s Baskets’ 35 odd locations across the country.
The
Ather 450 is designed for city riding conditions, it comes with a top speed of
80 km/hr, a range of 75 km and one of the quickest accelerations for the
scooter category of 0-40 km/hr in 3.9 seconds. Also, for the first time in the
category, Ather 450 comes with parking assist, which allows riders to reverse
into tight parking spots.
The
key differentiators of the Ather 450 are its intelligent features, seamless
charging and ownership experience. The Ather 450 has a 7” touchscreen dashboard
that allows onboard navigation with options of alternate routes and saved
locations. It comes with the Ather app that enables push navigation from the
phone to the vehicle dashboard, remote monitoring of the vehicle’s health and
charge status. Finally, with the over-the-air (OTA) updates functionality, the
vehicle is capable of improving over time with continuous upgrades and the
addition of new features and functionalities.
