Ather Energy opens up its new experience in Coimbatore. Thus, taking the total count of Ather Experience Centres to 3 in the state. The other two are in Chennai and Trichy. Located at Ramnagar, Coimbatore, this showroom will aim to boost the sales of electric vehicles in and around the Coimbatore region. The company has confirmed that both the Ather 450X and 450 Plus are now available for test ride and purchase at the Ather Space. Ather is increasingly expanding its dealership network to newer cities and regions. As of now, the EV also has its presence in Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Kochi, Ahmedabad, New Delhi, Trichy, Visakhapatnam, Jaipur, Kozhikode, Indore, and Nashik.
One of the key pillars for a sustainable EV business is a viable charging network. And Ather Energy very much understands this. And hence to provide its customers with a hassle-free experience, they have set up 7 Ather Grid charging stations. This includes Peelamedu, Ram Nagar, Sai Baba Colony, Saravanampatti, Racecourse road, Kuniyamuthur, and Sulur. And the company has also confirmed that soon 8 to 10 more charging points will come up at different locations in the city. Ather Energy wants to curb the range anxiety among its customers, and this vast charging network will provide the best possible charging infrastructure.
The current demand for electric vehicles is great news. The faster we make the shift to EVs, the better. The significant benefit is the decrease in carbon footprint, which is a concern these days. Tamil Nadu state government was one of the early states to introduce its EV policies. In fact, Ather’s own manufacturing plant is set up in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, leveraging the state’s EV centric policies. After the revised Fame-II subsidy, the Ather 450X has a sticker price of INR 1,46,296 (ex-showroom). Meanwhile, the Ather 450 Plus retails at an ex-showroom price of INR 1,27,286. These will reduce further after the state government subsidy guidelines are issued.
