Ather Energy opens retail outlet in Vizag

Visakhapatnam Ather Energy, India's first intelligent electric scooter manufacturer, on Saturday opened its new retail outlet - Ather Space, at New Colony Road, here in association with SN Auto.

The Ather 450X, India's quickest and smartest scooter, alongside the Ather 450 Plus will be available to test ride and purchase at Ather Space, a company official told the media.

Ather Space is geared to provide a unique ownership experience along with complete service and support for the owners. Designed to be a dynamic, tactile, and interactive space, the new Ather Space will offer customers an opportunity to learn about every aspect of the vehicle and provide a complete overview of the various parts with a stripped-bare unit on display. This is Ather Energy's first experience centre in Andhra Pradesh. Earlier this year, Ather expanded its presence across 15 cities, including Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Kochi, Ahmedabad, New Delhi, Trichy and Jaipur.

Ather Energy is one of the few OEMs who also invests in building a charging infrastructure. The company has installed two fast-charging points, Ather Grid, which can be found at Railway New Colony and Beach Road. Ather Energy plans to add 8-10 more charging points to strengthen the charging network to provide smooth and stress-free rides for EV owners in the city. Ather Energy also helps customers in setting up home charging solutions in their apartments and buildings.

Andhra Pradesh government has introduced several policies to encourage faster adoption and manufacturing of electric vehicles in the State.
