NEW DELHI: Electric vehicle firm Ather Energy has continued to expand its fast charging network infrastructure in India, throwing open on Thursday seven new ‘Ather Gird Points’, as it calls its charging stations, in Tamil Nadu’s Chennai. According to the company, it seeks to increase this number to 50-55 by the end of the year in Chennai alone.
Ather’s Chennai expansion comes in the wake of a steady shift toward electric mobility and the establishment of electric vehicle charging stations in major cities in order to cater to the expected rise in EV adoption over the next few years. Ather, for example, already has a network of such charging stations in Bengaluru, and it believes that the demand for these will only shoot up across India in the future.
