Why do I have to pay for fast charging at Ather Grid™?
We’ve always believed that public charging is a key component for EV adoption and have kept our network free to access since 2018. The flip side of free charging has been that it leads to crowding when riders plug in for long hours. Ather Grid™ is designed to give quick top-ups on the go. Now with an extensive community of owners in each city, one of the biggest feedback has been that Ather Grid™ should be accessible when required. And to solve for that, charging at Ather Grid™ will now be available at a nominal fee of ₹1/min. Charge when you need, at India’s largest two-wheeler fast charging network.
