Ather Energy has released its March 2022 sales report and has registered an astonishing 120 per cent YoY sales growth. In terms of numbers, Ather Energy sold 2,591 units of electric scooters in March 2022.

Thanks to this rapid growth, Ather Energy has also expanded their presence across India and opened 4 new showrooms. These 4 new showrooms are located in Guwahati, Vijayawada, Tirupati, and a 3rd showroom in Bangalore.

Also, Ather Energy recently celebrated the roll-out of the 25,000th unit of the Ather 450X electric scooter from its manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu.

This is an astonishing feat for a premium electric scooter manufacturer, as the milestone was achieved in just 2 years since the company started the production of the electric scooters back in January 2020.

In addition to this, Ather Energy is one of the first players in the premium electric scooter segment in India and the company redefined the perception of electric scooters in India with top-quality products with excellent fit and finish.

Apart from the quality, the Ather electric scooters were very ahead of their time with features such as a large 7-inch TFT touchscreen digital instrument cluster, multiple ride modes, reverse mode, all-LED lighting systems and many more.

In addition to the newly opened showrooms, Ather Energy has presence in over 23 cities, which the company expanded last year with showrooms in cities like Kochi, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Kozhikode, Indore, Visakhapatnam, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, New Delhi, Trichy, and Nashik.

Speaking about Ather Energy, the electric scooter manufacturer currently sells two models in India - Ather 450X and Ather 450 Plus.

While the Ather 450 Plus is the base model and is powered by a 5.4kW electric motor with 22Nm of torque, and a 2.4kWh Lithium-ion battery pack, the Ather 450X uses a more powerful 6kW electric motor with 26Nm of torque and it also sports a bigger 2.9kWh Lithium-ion battery pack.

Moreover, the base Ather 450 Plus claims to do 70kms on a single charge and takes just 10 minutes to add 10 kms of range while using a suitable fast charger.

In comparison, the Ather 450X can do 80kms on a fully charged battery pack. Also, the charging time in the more premium Ather 450X is also reduced compared to the Ather 450 Plus as the Ather 450X takes just 10 minutes to add 15 kms of range.

Despite the stylish appearance, both the Ather 450 Plus and Ather 450X sport a very practical 22-litres of under-seat storage, water-resistant 7-inch touchscreen instrument display with Google maps compatibility, a pait of robust telescopic front suspension, 12-inch wheels, and more.

Pricing for the Ather 450 Plus in Ahmedabad is Rs 1.13 lakh (Including FAME II subsidy), whereas the Ather 450X costs Rs 1.32 lakh (Including FAME II subsidy).

Thoughts About The Ather 450X

The Ather 450X has always been one of the best electric scooters currently you can buy in the country. The build quality in the Ather is one of the best in the EV business. However, Ather must up their game in the 'range' department as new entrants in the market have started to quote electric ranges that is well above the 100km mark.
