Ather Energy, India's leading electric two-wheeler manufacturer, announced that it has crossed the milestone of 400 Ather Grid fast charging points across Maharashtra. This milestone highlights Ather’s commitment to removing range anxiety and boosting EV adoption by providing riders with hassle-free charging access across cities and major highways in the state.
Today, Ather has 64 Experience Centres and 42 Service Centres in Maharashtra spread across 37 cities, ensuring easy access to sales and after-sales support. The Ather Grid fast charging network now extends to 35 cities across Maharashtra including Mumbai, Nashik, Pune and Nagpur. Moreover, these fast chargers are strategically placed to connect significant routes such as Mumbai - Pune, Pune - Satara, Satara - Kolhapur, Sangali - Kolhapur and Pune - Panshet.
In addition to the Ather Grid network, customers will also have access to 220 fast charging points built on the LECCS (Light Electric Combined Charging System) standard. Developed by Ather and opened for industry-wide adoption, LECCS allows different brands of light electric vehicles to use the same network. Ather Grid chargers are also visible on Google Maps, making it easy for any customer with a LECCS connector on their scooter to locate, navigate and charge, further enhancing the everyday ownership experience.
Speaking on the occasion, Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy noted, “Maharashtra has been a strong market for us, and we’ve seen EV adoption here grow steadily over the years. As more people switch to electric, what really builds confidence is knowing that charging won’t be a challenge. However, for many potential buyers, charging continues to be one of the perceived barriers, and that’s something we’ve always worked towards solving. From the beginning, we’ve focused on building infrastructure that keeps pace with growing demand. Crossing 400 fast chargers in the state is a reflection of that effort. It’s about giving riders the assurance that they’ll always find a charger when they need one. As we expand our retail presence, the charging network will continue to grow in tandem to make EV ownership truly seamless.”
To expand the charging ecosystem, Ather Energy has also established successful partnerships with various organisations including Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited across India and EV Dock in Maharashtra for widespread charger deployment. Ather pioneered India's first two-wheeler fast charging network in 2018, and since then has built the country's widest electric two-wheeler charging infrastructure. Currently, Ather has established 3300+ Ather grid fast charging points in India. The network's fast chargers offer efficient performance, enabling compatible electric two-wheelers to charge at a rate of 15 kilometers per 10 minutes, reducing downtime for users during daily commutes and extended travel.
