Ather Energy began the deliveries of the Ather 450X in the capital, marking the Bengaluru-based company's official entry into the capital. Along with the deliveries, Ather Energy also commenced test rides in Lajpat Nagar, where Delhi customers learnt about the features of the vehicle and different ownership and purchased models to buy the Ather 450X and Ather 450 Plus. The experience centre, Ather Space, will open in May 2021 at Lajpat Nagar and will be Ather Energy’s third, company-owned experience center. Ather Energy set up 10 fast-charging points, Ather Grid, across key hotspots in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, and will install more charging points in the coming months. The company partnered with national bodies like EESL to set up fast charging points across the city and will be looking to partner with progressive hosts including cafés, restaurants, tech parks, malls, and gyms which can offer EV owners’ easy accessibility, curb range anxiety, and ease the adoption of electric vehicles in Delhi. More than 128 public fast charging points, Ather Grid, are up across more than 18 cities in India. The Ather 450X is powered by a 6kW PMSM motor, a new 2.9 kWh lithium-ion battery, and comes with four riding modes. In addition to Eco, Ride, and Sport, Ather introduced a new high-performance mode, in which the Ather 450X can go from 0 to 40 kmph in just 3.3 sec in Warp mode, making it the quickest scooter in the 125cc category. The Ather 450X can charge a rate of 1.5km per minute, making it the fastest charging rate in the electric two-wheeler category. The new 7-inch touchscreen dashboard comes with a color depth of 16M and a Snapdragon Quad-Core processor.
