Ather Energy Limited has introduced ‘Eight70TM‘ warranty for its two EV scooter models; Ather 450 series and Ritza. This insurance is done in collaboration with Reliance general insurance with the motive of addressing customer’s pain points related to battery health issue, its performance and replacement. Both the EV’s, Ether 450 and Ritza have extended battery warranty options along with the new ‘Eight70TM‘ warranty. This warranty can be purchased as a three-year add-on over and above the five year battery warranty and is offered with the pro-pack. It is priced at INR 4999 including GST. Lets see the benefits this warranty is offering.
This warranty has offered a couple of excellent benefits including 70% of battery health assurance for up to 8 years or 80,000 km, whichever comes first. You will also get a full coverage for the manufacturing defects and there is no maximum limit on the claim. The best thing about the warranty is that your claim would not get rejected for the battery discharge issue. All EV vehicles face the constant problem of battery discharging when the vehicle is kept immobile or uncharged for a long time. This warranty will give you an assurance that the battery of your EV scooter can get fixed when it faces this issue.
To enhance the customer experience by addressing the pain points, this warranty scheme has been introduced; however, Ather batteries are built with extreme measures and are reliable enough.
Ather batteries are put through 272 tests which include temperature testing, mechanical drop testing, vibration testing and many more. Ather batteries have an in-built battery management system that does constant check-ups on voltage and current. To keep the temperature in-check, multiple temperature sensors are placed across the battery pack which provides the battery management system with the temperature of various sections.
