Bengaluru-based Ather Energy has introduced the next generation of public fast-charging infrastructure, Ather Grid 2.0. The new fast-charging infrastructure is built upon 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 company said in a release.
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.
Nilay Chandra, VP – Charging Infrastructure and Marketing, Ather Energy said, 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,” he added.
The Ather Grid Network is spread across 21 cities and 215 locations. Ather Energy aims to add 500 Ather Grid locations by the end of FY22, with all new installations being Ather Grid 2.0.
