Ather Energy, India’s first intelligent electric scooter manufacturer, today announced the launch of the next generation of public fast charging infrastructure, Ather Grid 2.0. The new fast-charging infrastructure builds on the current generation of Ather Grid with enhanced features to support scale and future faster charging capability. The installation of this ubiquitous public fast-charging network has already begun in Bangalore and Chennai, and it will soon be available across cities in India.
The Ather Grid 2.0 was designed with the aim of re-defining the future of public utility by creating a distinguishable, approachable, and scalable charging experience. Ather Grid 2.0 will have the ability to support future fast charging capacity, as well as enhanced safety and faster bug resolution. Grid 2.0 will support Over-the-Air updates, allowing Ather Energy to push new features and bug fixes to all systems on the field real-time. It also has improved durability as it is designed to handle degradation, making it more suitable for installations exposed to extreme environmental conditions. The modular design also enables field serviceability of parts with a strong emphasis on remote diagnostics. Ather Grid will continue to stay connected at all times to provide real-time availability of all charging locations in every city.
Speaking on this development Nilay Chandra, VP – Charging Infrastructure and Marketing, Ather Energy said “At Ather Energy, we have been continuously focusing on evolving and providing the best customer experience. With the introduction of Ather Grid 2.0, we will be able to fast track our ambition of setting up 500 fast-charging infrastructure by the end of this year. Our charging infrastructure will be available to all players who adopt the connector standard and we are in the advanced stages of conversation with multiple partners for the same. For us, this is the beginning of the Ather Grid network’s expansion, and it is critical to make charging infrastructure convenient and easily accessible to consumers in order to boost the adoption of electric vehicles.“
