Electric vehicle startup Ather Energy on Tuesday said the first phase of its plans of setting up charging grid across over 135 locations would be completed by the year-end.
In all, the company targets to install 6,500 charging points across the country by 2022, Ather Energy said in a release.
The Hero MotoCorp-backed firm currently has 150 fast-charging stations pan-India, including 37 in Bengaluru and 13 in Chennai.
These grid fast-charging network can be used by all-electric two-wheelers and electric four-wheelers, besides charging its Ather 450X scooter at 15 km in 10 minutes, according to the release.
“Ather Grid has seen steady adoption in Bengaluru and Chennai and we believe that accessible charging infrastructure is critical before launching our products in any market we enter,” said Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy.
