Ather Grid’s Milestone

Ather has installed 1000 Ather Grid across India. So now you don’t need to worry as to where I might find Ather Grid. This achievement makes them the largest two-wheeler fast-charging network in the world.

 Ather Dot

Ather Dot is a home charger designed for individuals who have a dedicated parking space and travel within the city, with a range of 80-100 km. It is intended for overnight charging and requires authentication to prevent power theft. The installation includes arrangements for the power source and ensures safety. With the help of additional accessories, the charger can also be made weatherproof for worry-free use.

The Portable Charger is ideal for those without a designated parking space or who travel longer distances where accessing the Ather Grid fast charging network may be difficult. It is important to note that some sockets may not meet safety standards and the charger may reject them to protect the battery. When using the Portable Charger, it is recommended to avoid outdoor sockets that are not protected from the elements.

Charging Cost

A full charge for an Ather 450X using the home charger (Ather Dot) or the portable charger takes about 4 kWh of electricity, which costs approximately ₹20 to ₹35 (based on a cost of ₹4 to ₹8 per kWh).

Ather Battery protection for electric scooters

Non-Ather EV Charging options

If you are a Non-Ather user, don’t worry we have some charging solutions for you as well.

  • If you are a non-Ather user, I am sorry but you cannot use the fast charging protocol of Ather Grid. However, you still can use the AC charger of 2.5kW Ather for charging your non-Ather EV.
  • Also if you have a 5A or 15A socket, you can charge your non-Ather EV. You don’t need to carry your charger to connect with the Ather Grid.
  • You cannot use a personal charging portable charger for your non-Ather EV but you can always spot the Ather Grid and plug-in.
