Ather Energy Expands Its Fast Charging Network With Its 580th Charging Station

The company plans to add 820 more by the end of FY23

There is a clear short supply of EV fast-charging stations in India. Brands like Ather Energy are looking to change that, and have announced the installation of its 580th Ather fast-charging grid today. Ather now has a footprint spanning across 56 cities in India, possibly making it the only premium e-scooter maker to have so many active fast charging points across the nation.

Additionally, Ather has expressed a plan of establishing 820 more fast-charging grids by the end of March 2024, taking its overall count up to 1400 fast-charging points. Furthermore, this fast charging network can be accessed by all compatible electric two-wheelers and four-wheelers, and this facility is being offered for free till the end of this year.

Another bold move from Ather has been its decision to make its fast-charging technology an open standard for all OEMs. The newly launched Vida V1 became the first e-scooter to adopt the same, allowing all future Vida V1 owners to charge their e-scooters at Ather’s fast-charging points. How convenient is that?
